but then i find it easier to find a conversion from a single number 
(float) into a fixed sized number-list (signal) than a conversion from 
an arbitrary sized list (list) into a fixed sized number-list (signal).

the former is just a constant signal whereas the latter is: a transition?

personally i would have preferred no implicit float->signal at all (use 
[sig~] for that. but who knows this object nowadays?).
it gives confusion in constructs like

            [loadbang]
            |
[sig~ 100] [30(
|          |
+----------+
|
[osc~]
|

does the oscillator run at 100, 30, or 130 Hz?
