Supposedly, "list" and "bang" are identical. I think the right way to print an empty list is to print "bang". But then again, if you're asked what the selector is, I suppose it could be legitimately described as either 'list' or 'bang' - each carries a risk of confusion.

If [list( is equal to [bang( then it always needs to be equal

pd-window says: 'print: bang' . i admit, i didn't know that before, but it seems somehow consistent, that an empty list is equal to 'bang'. do you know a case, where it is handled differently?
