Summary: iemguts/canvasargs treats "bang" different from "list"
Initial Comment:
I suppose I could have titled this bug, "most of the rest of Pd implies that the user doesn't need to differentiate between a bang and an empty list."
If you send "bang" to [canvasargs], it outputs the current list of args that it's planning to write once the parent patch is saved.
If you send it "list", [canvasargs] resets so that no arguments will be saved with the abstraction in the parent patch.
[canvasargs] uses messages that are anything other than the built-in Pd message types to change the name of the abstraction in the parent patch. It might be better if there were a "clear" message to clear the args, and a "new" message to change the name of the abstraction.
