Well, "bug" may be a bit harsh of me, but I really don't see why [zl] doesn't just keep the "list" selector? I find the behaviour of [list] much more consistent compared to [zl]. [zl] is happily throwing away an important selector (see attached patch), which is a behaviour I would rather have control over myself with e.g. [list trim].
the only difference is that [list] always quotes its output unlike [zl], which always sends ready-to-evaluate messages. Otherwise, both work just on vectors of atoms, and you can't tell from their output, whether input was quoted or not.
You might argue that a [list] inserted on output costs more than a [list trim], although I doubt Max users are really forced to insert [prepend list] that often.
