[route float symbol list]
this _does_ work

however, be aware that the "list" strips any preceding "list" from a 
list, thus possibly making it something else.
read: "1 2 3" will be correctly expanded to "list 1 2 3", the "list" 
being stripped by route, so you get "1 2 3" again (which is ok)
but: "list yellow sub marine" will become "yellow sub marine" which is 
_not_ a list anymore.

so: if you know that only floats, symbols and lists are going to appear 
on the inlet, you can use the reject-outlet of [route] for the lists:
[route float symbol]

PS: while [zexy/segregate] could do the job too, i would  really rather 
use [route] (personally too)
