Aaargh... I was looking at an older version of [unpackOSC], before it
was modified (zmoelnig's patch 1959417). I guess the best solution is to
make [pipelist] accept lists without the list selector (aka
meta-messages) then. I think it would be even better if [pipe] would
pipe lists and meta-messages too, so there would be no need for a
separate [pipelist].
I'm getting the feeling that list is becoming deprecated in favour of
meta-messages, since the 'list' selector is redundant. Is that right?
