Just checking it's not a problem with [makefilename], it's not. I'd expect an X from trimming any raw X, in other words [list trim] should do nothing to any data that doesn't have "list" at the start. Is that what you would expect?

A student just discovered this strange behavior. Basically, if you get something that generates a symbolic atom that has numeric data in it, you can then create a mystery type by feeding that thru [list trim]. Don't know exactly where the problem is, but something fishy is going on. My guess is that [list trim] should output a float.
