[PD] Testing for empty creation args?

[Jack]

This a very nice method, thanx.
But there is something strange in this abstraction according to the  
help page about [list].
I can read [list] short for [list append] but this is not true.
In this abstraction if you replace [list append] by [list] and you  
enter a 'symbol' as argument, you have this error :
  list $1
... couldn't create
This is just a remark.
