Re: [PD-dev] $0 in messages, was: multiple $arg-expansion

Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:

Much if not most of this problem was caused by the shortcut of allowing sets starting with a float to be lists. So shortcuts can do real harm.

I don't agree here (anymore), as [list trim] and [list] fix all of this confusion. If you want to make sure, you get a list-list, use [list] beforehand, if you want to make sure to get a "set", insert a [list trim]. In many other cases Pd will do TheRightThing itself.

Having # and $ could cause new confusions for beginners and others, like forgetting when to use # and when to use $.

That's a valid and important point. (I was just using # because it's used in Max.)
