[PD] Add to documentation: makenote accepts lists in its leftmost inlet

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Is there enough information available to the core, that could show in 
the GUI if the default list distribution method applies to a given 
(instance of) an object?  Can function pointers be compared for equality 
in C?

I'm thinking something like an underlined first inlet if the automatic 
list distribution applies (or the reverse), but of course other options 
are available, like tooltips or context menu etc....
