but then i find it easier to find a conversion from a single number
(float) into a fixed sized number-list (signal) than a conversion from
an arbitrary sized list (list) into a fixed sized number-list (signal).
the former is just a constant signal whereas the latter is: a transition?
personally i would have preferred no implicit float->signal at all (use
[sig~] for that. but who knows this object nowadays?).
it gives confusion in constructs like

does the oscillator run at 100, 30, or 130 Hz?
mga.
