I'm concerned mainly with documentation, and for
an object like
[list]
actually, there is no objectclass "list". what you get with [list] is an instance of the objectclass "list append" (and yes, this is an objectclass name with a space in it)
I should have said [list append] since I'm talking about documentation. I'm not changing the docs in any way to make it look like there is a sixth object class (actually list-help.pd currently says there are four, which is wrong).
I think it's best to show the relationship among the list objects as the fact that they can all be called by starting with the "list" selector in an object box, and the first argument determines which object class gets instantiated. (Shortcuts being [list] with no args or with the first arg being a float -> [list append], as well as the implicit list [1 2 3] -> [list append]).
Then one subpatch for each object class (just as the current help for list).
