Both. ;) I'm just talking about a way to serialize a list into single
atoms. But now that you mention it: Actually I need two kinds of
serialization: One that just unfolds a complete list into its single
elements, and another one, which does it on demand. I called it
"list-dripslow" which is a bad name, but here, only one element is
sent to the outlet, and on each bang the next element is sent.

Probably a future [list drip/serialize] could do this with a kind of
[next( message.

Another one would be "list index" or "list nth", to use an analogy
with [zl].

While aliases like [list-split] for [list split] would be nice, I
don't have a real problem with the way it currently is, because then I
know, if I'm using an abstraction or an internal. However I found
myself typing [list splat -1] and it didn't create ...
