Well, if you send the message "list 7" to [symbol] it will output "symbol list," when, according to all_about_data_types.pd, it ought
to output "symbol float."Here (Pd version 0.42.4) [symbol], the object box, outputs "symbol
list". However [symbol, the graphical atom, shows "float". Probably some
artifact of automatic converson going on behind our backs. A third possibility
would be to bail out with an error "No message for list/float". I would prefer
this behaviour. It's consistent with the behaviour of [float] receiving a
"list abc" message.Regarding all_about_data_types.pd: Personally I wouldn't trust this
patch.
Its a patch with examples, if you don't trust the examples, then that
seems to mean you don't trust Pd ;)
