What is wrong with [my_selector(--[list]--[$1(
Also-- I'm not familiar with any cases where a user has requested
the ability to reference the selector with $0. I'm only familiar with
cases where a user has requested getting ce_dollarzero in msg
boxes, a dev denying it, then another dev suggesting that $0 could
expand to the selector in msg boxes without providing a use case.

or arguments in message boxes, [...]
I don't understand what the word "solution" means here. If users
have repeatedly requested msg box $0 to expand to glist's
ce_dollarzero, why would Pd Vanilla give $0 in msg boxes a
different function that is incompatible with object box $0?
