in the zexy external (the newest version of which, by the way, i have
uploaded just know) provides:
"any2list" (or "a2l"): convert "anythings" to "lists"
"glue": glue together two "things"; but it only eats lists (especially
on the right inlet, since it seems quite tricky to me, to make other
inlets than the first eat anythings), so this won't really help...

but of course, i would prefer a "t a a b l" too (and personally i do not
mind how this is handled in max (btw i think it is "casted" to list
there) since i am using pd and not max)
