[route list] actually never outputs a list-message with a "list"-selector (except implied lists like "1 2 3"), this is the expected and correct behaviour. [route list] in this regard is equivalent to [list trim].
A few days ago I coded a [route2] which always outputs the same thing as the input, and then soon enough I'll also code a [route3] which replaces the selector by "list". This is so that abstractions become easier to code. I'd welcome better names than [route2] and [route3] if they're not too long.
the zexy-object corresponding to [route2] is called [relay]
While [route2] is not a good name, I don't think [relay] makes sense there either.
WordNet (r) 2.0 relay n 1: the act of relaying something 2: electrical device such that current flowing through it in one circuit can switch on and off a current in a second circuit [syn: {electrical relay}] v 1: pass along; "Please relay the news to the villagers" 2: control or operate by relay
"route" is a perfect word for the concept, so I say add a descriptor to the word route.
