Summary: complaining about [route] with mixed-type arguments

Initial Comment:
quoting the reference-patch of [route]:
"Route checks the first element of a message against
each of its
arguments, which may be numbers or symbols (but not a
mixture of the two.)"

however, creating [route 5 bla] is possible and no
hints are given that this is illegal.


attached is a patch that checks the creation arguments,
and if they are illegal, no object will be created
(with some verbosity, so the user knows what went wrong)
