Ok, makes sense.  However, what should be output for:

"0 a b c"   -> "a b c" or "list a b c" ?
"0 123"     -> "float 123" or "list 123" ?
"0 1 2 3"   -> "list 1 2 3" ?
"0"         -> "bang" or "list" ?

The whole Pd selector system mess arises again, when it could be neatly 
  side-stepped ;)

You could wrap the [lpipe] with two inlets in an abstraction to get the 
[qlist]-ish message behaviour, going the other way would be rather hard.

Thanks,


Claude
