[PD-dev] proposed new "list" object

well, i'd suggest to forbid one-element lists as much as possible, but
treat them as atoms.
since pd only handles flat lists, we don't really loose features ... on
the other hand it will hopefully avoid list vs. symbol/float/pointer
bugs in patches ... would make it easier to write bug-free patches...

cheers ... tim
