interpreting empty lists as bangs, is at least a decent way to solve this, although i would try to figure out, where empty lists appear (e.g. route) and try to replace them with bangs... maybe there is a way to forbid that objects can send empty lists at all...
There are many algorithms that rely on empty lists, for example, to indicate the end of the computation, when removing elements one after the other, or as a starting case, when adding elements.
Therefore I cannot approve anything like getting rid of empty lists. I already have trouble digesting that Pd doesn't want to make a difference between a one-float list and a plain float.
