hi miller, hi devs ...

a few comments:

>     list append - append a list to another
i'm not sure, if it's handy to have |list| as alias of list append ...
personally, i'd prefer an object |list| to be an alias for a function
like |zl reg|, which works only as storage object.
i think, it's important to distinguish between storage functionality (i
don't recall any other language which where storing a list has the side
effect of appending)

>     list split - first n elements to first outlet, rest to second 
> outlet
i'd propose to include negative arguments to split list from both the
front and from the back ... 

oh ... and i like the idea of a $@ or $* that expands in the dollar
arguments of an abstraction and in the whole list in message boxes ...

cheers ... tim

ps: i just added the list objects to devel ...
