I don't agree here (anymore), as [list trim] and [list] fix all of
this confusion. If you want to make sure, you get a list-list, use
[list] beforehand, if you want to make sure to get a "set", insert a [list
trim]. In many other cases Pd will do TheRightThing itself.

That's a valid and important point. (I was just using # because it's
used in Max.)
