Yes, and I also have reported that as a bug back in 2002 or 2003.
This is also why I used [fork] (an external I cloned from jMax) to do my
work, because it avoids the above behaviour, and preserves single-element
lists in "anything". Nowadays I mostly use [t a a] to make my patches more
familiar to PureData users, but frankly, I think [fork] is right and [t a
a] is wrong, and I still use [fork] when I want to make sure my messages
aren't altered.
Besides, GridFlow still distinguishes between a single-element list (casts
to one-dimensional grid) and a plain float (casts to zero-dimensional
grid), and I'll change that behaviour only if really forced to, because
when I have to choose between
1. between integration of GridFlow into Pd
2. internal consistency of GridFlow
I prefer the latter.
