I see that there now are the rather peculiar "list fromsymbol" and "list tosymbol" methods in [list], but the much needed "list foreach" still is missing. Why?
most likely, because yo can do a [list foreach] as a simple abstraction (if you don't mind another name), while you cannot do a [list tosymbol].
Okay, I see. But with the same logic, [list length] could be considered superfluous.
list-drip.pd, the equivalent abstraction to "list foreach" in the [list]-abs is the most used abstraction in the whole collection. Although Matju's implementation is highly optimized, including "list foreach" as an interal method would speed things up immensely.
Oh, "list cat" would as well.
