Summary: [route] bugs

Initial Comment:
[route] is buggy with certain combinations of creation arguments.

case 1)

[route 0 bla]

send '0': first outlet matches: OK
send 'bla': no match: WRONG

to trigger the bug, '0' can be replaced by any other float, but not by 'float'.


case 2)

[route 1 bla]

send '0': second outlet matches: WRONG
send '1': first outlet matches: OK
send '2': no match: OK
send 'bla': no match: WRONG

the same behaviour is show also with any other non-zero float number as first argument.

Message:
i see. 

sorry for the bogus bug report. but yeah, a warning would help. being able
to have an invalid combination of arguments without being notified is
confusing.

Message:
i think there are 2 things in your report:
- you are mixing floats and symbols in your arguments, which according to
the docs is an invalid use of the object: "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.)"; one could argue that [route] should print
a warning if this happens

- the 2nd bug you reported is (i believe) related to the the issue fixed
in patch #2151892
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2151892&group_id=55736&atid=478072;
but really it also boils down to an invalid use of the [route] object
