You can already use [symbol] to get the selector of an
incoming message.
It doesn't work for those selectors:
bang symbol list
Why do you say it doesn't work for list?
To handle these cases, you need to also have [route bang symbol list], three messageboxes that say «symbol bang» «symbol symbol» and «symbol list», and three [b] to protect those messageboxes from whatever comes out of [route]. then the else-case of [route] goes to [symbol].
As far as I can tell you just need [route bang symbol], two message boxes, and a [symbol] object. There's no need to protect the message boxes because whatever is coming out of inlet 0 and 1 of [route] is either a bang or a symbol, both of which will trigger the msg box's output without changing its content.
