It is recommended that we reduce dependency on registry.lists outside of the context of debugging. We are still using registry.lists for common_functions.py. I believe we could avoid that by having an overridable action return the list. At some point, we should probably go over all the uses of registry.lists and see which we can remove.

registry.lists:

functions_common.py usage seems incorrect

libraries_gui.py seems incorrect

snippets.py seems incorrect

talon_repl.talon seems fine

talon_helpers.py seems fine

help.py seems fine

The imgui code here that uses registry.lists to find the currently active version of a list and manually read values out of it, should define / call an overridable action instead.
