The last posts on the list have been about [list store] and I just realized that the object does automatic conversion from anything to list.
IMHO, it's not a good idea to mix messages like [append(, [prepend( etc. with anythings.
This can lead to weird bugs (like in the serializer example in list-help.pd) since spelling errors/wrong methods are not caught and instead promoted to list messages.
The more serious issue, however, is that it will be problematic to add new methods for [list store] in the future because some patches might already use the new selector in anything messages. Since I think that [list store] will profit a lot from more methods (and I want to make a WIP pull request in the near future), it might be a good idea to disable the automatic conversion now and only allow explicit list messages. this *might* break existing patches, but you get explicit error messages and it's easy to fix by putting a [list] object. I think it's worth to break compatibility now to save troubles and open up possibilities for the future.
