Well, not quite: [print] doesn't print the full list, which actually
is: "list newitem 1 2 original". To remove the first "list" you need
to use [list trim] or [route list]. This makes a difference e.g. if
"newitem" is a method name, like for example "set" is a method of
message objects. See the patch I posted for the difference in
behaviour. I think, it also is explained in list-help.pd.
