Summary: [list-split] outputs bad bang type

Initial Comment:
Hi,
Attached it a patch demonstrating the bug.  [list-split] outputs a bang on the right outlet when the input is a bang, but it seems to invisibly add the "list" selector so that the bang is unrecognized by, for example, [until] (giving the error: inlet: expected 'bang' but got 'list')

Cheers
Luke

I guess you mean [list split] (without dash). If it's a bug it's one in
[until] I believe. [list split] outputs a zero-element list in your
example, which is what the help-file says it would do. Usually empty lists
get converted to a bang. I suppose this happens at an object's inlet.
However [until] doesn't convert - probably it needs to get a
until_list2(...) method?

(Btw: Better avoid whitespace in the names of example patches uploaded
here. I uploaded a new version and deleted the old.)
