I totally agree.  I am starting to document these strange behaviors.   
This will make them easier to learn, first of all, then also it will  
make it possible to get a clear overview of how Pd behaves.   
Ultimately, I hope this will point the way towards making Pd's syntax  
more coherent.  My pet peeve is "lists" vs. anythings.
