[PD] select backward compatibility

Supposedly, "list" and "bang" are identical.  I think the right way to
print an empty list is to print "bang".  But then again, if you're asked
what the selector is, I suppose it could be legitimately described as
either 'list' or 'bang' - each carries a risk of confusion.
