Here (Pd version 0.42.4) [symbol], the object box, outputs "symbol list".
However [symbol\, the graphical atom, shows "float". Probably some artifact of
automatic converson going on behind our backs. A third possibility would be to
bail out with an error "No message for list/float". I would prefer this
behaviour. It's consistent with the behaviour of [float] receiving a "list abc"
message.
Regarding all_about_data_types.pd: Personally I wouldn't trust this patch.
Ciao
