I have been using the [coll] object as part of my preset system. But I ran into an issue that I wanted to bring up.

[coll] can store symbols and floats/ints as lists, however, the information in [coll] changes if it is loaded from a text file or if it is recorded inside the object during the pd session. This results in a mixed output accordingly. To fix this I had to convert everything to symbol and then everything to a list with the [l2s] and [s2l] objects. Problem solved, however, is this a correct behavior? shouldn't it be the same type of output either way?

thoughts?
