Something like this, perhaps?:
> listx <- function(...)
> structure(list(...),names=tail(as.list(substitute(c(...))),-1))
> list.example <- list(df.example$a > 7, df.example$b < 4)

$`df.example$a > 7`
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE
$`df.example$b < 4`
[1] TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE
