Summary: Pointers and Lists Bug

Initial Comment:
Hey,
might it be that pointers and lists don't go well together??
I wanted to make a list containing pointers..
( Most (Some) "list"-externals don't recognize this construction. They rather do if the 1st element is not a pointer. )

I can get an element with [list split], but what comes out is not a pointer anymore...
[rawprint] says it is still a list  ( [print] tells me it's just a pointer) , but [list trim] won't change anything!!!
..And a [pointer] doesn't recognize it either way..

Argh...

( I can't really remember, but there are other situations when there is "internal" confusion about datatypes)
And I find it confusing myself as well.. especially these "hidden datatypes" and the "autoconversion" sometimes make things complicated/ weird internally and externally.

It's Pd-ext 0.42.5 on windows

(Btw. please update the windows-autobuilds as well)
