Re: [PD] Abstraction arguments: tell apart symbols from floats from no argument at all

another way to do it might be the following. I don't have now the time to
test it:

• loadbang a list with all the arguments (maybe initiated by something

like [list $1 $2 $3 ... $16 or whatever])

• use an abstraction from list-abs to drip the list
• send the output through a route to test the type

If you know beforehand that 0s won't be part of the arguments, it will be
even easier, just filter out the 0s when detecting the argument type.

if you're ok with externals you can also use [dollarg] from iemlib or
[canvasargs] from iemguts. for a hacky vanilla solution, see attached
patch. I'm sure there are more ways, this is just one that I remembered.

And it is a nice one, Thanks Christof!
