by [drip] do you mean [repack 1] or the "real" (delay-based!) [drip]?
Both. ;) I'm just talking about a way to serialize a list into single atoms. But now that you mention it: Actually I need two kinds of serialization: One that just unfolds a complete list into its single elements, and another one, which does it on demand. I called it "list-dripslow" which is a bad name, but here, only one element is sent to the outlet, and on each bang the next element is sent.
Probably a future [list drip/serialize] could do this with a kind of [next( message.
what comes to my mind is als [list length] (but you already mentioned that)
Another one would be "list index" or "list nth", to use an analogy with [zl].
While aliases like [list-split] for [list split] would be nice, I don't have a real problem with the way it currently is, because then I know, if I'm using an abstraction or an internal. However I found myself typing [list splat -1] and it didn't create ...
