I very much recommend making a library that can handle both at an expense 
that is as close as possible to making a library for just one of them.

But I believe that those list abstractions should be made for lists, and 
not for anythings, which is a dangerous precedent set by [list], because 
for example it prevents introducing a message "array $1" where $1 would be 
a send-symbol for an array. (Or it could be called [table]. why are there 
two names for that concept in pd anyway?)

No idea what that means in your head, sorry... :/
