I like to call lists with a list selector "list-lists".

Actually I believe, the only real practical problem that
lists/messages and list-lists had in the past was, that it was a bit
hard to make a list-list out of a general list/message. (Stripping
the list-selector and converting back to a message-list is possible,
too, with [list trim], but was possible with [route list] as well.)
[list $1 $2...( could be ambigious and it didn't work with arbitrary
length message-lists.
But with pd-0.39 this issue is solved thanks to the [list] object,
that automatically converts everything to a full-blown list-list, if
one is needed. This is another reason to upgrade to 0.39 soon, if
someone hasn't done so yet.
Ciao
