pd_defaultbang() casts bang to list when there is no bang-method.

pd_defaultlist() casts list to bang wheh there is no list-method and the 
list has 0 arguments (otherwise it casts to something else or tries to 
auto-unpack)

So, it's really both, but at least I didn't claim that there was only one 
converter.
