i agree that these things are not objects and not lists, so "meta message" sounds perfect to describe them.
i agree too, that these things are neither objects nor lists, however to my ears "message" sounds even more perfect than "meta message" or "message not of the bang-, float-, symbol- and list-type"
Btw: I often use a little abstraction called "prepent.pd" with pd-0.39, which will generate meta messages with a certain selector. Inside it just consists of a mix of "prepend" and "trim" => "prepent":
prepent.pd:
[inlet] [inlet] | | [list prepend $1] | [list trim] | [oulet]
I use this for example in front of netsend:
[prepent send] | [netsend]
indeed this is a very useful thing. however, i (personally) use 2 objects instead of 1 (not that much of a gain...)
