[swap] help says: The swap object stores numbers from its left inlet to output on its right inlet -- after repeating its right hand input out the left.
It should say: The swap object stores numbers from its left inlet to output on its right inlet -- before repeating its right hand input out the left.

^^^^^ outlet
However: numbers in the left inlet aren't stored, only numbers coming in on the right, cold inlet are stored. So I'd rather write it like this:
The swap object stores numbers from its right inlet to output on its left outlet -- after repeating its left hand input out the right.
Or maybe the more verbose version (there's still room in that help patch):
The swap object swaps the positions of two incoming numbers. The number coming in through the right inlet will come out the left outlet and the number coming in left will come out right. Only the left inlet is hot and triggers output on both outlet. Output order is right to left as in [trigger].
A common use of swap is to reverse the operands in arithmetic objects like this:
[swap] | / [- ]
Who does the bug report? ;) Patch is attached.

Why don't you try to bang a [swap] ?
You'd see that numbers in the left inlet are stored.

Ah, yeah, of course, sorry for confusion.

Sounds very good.

I vote for Frank...
Something else: [swap] only works for floats. Is there an object somewhere that does the same for symbols?

If you ask that, why not ask about pointers too? Or why not whole lists? Or why not any message with any selector? It should be trivial to implement in a scripting external (probably about 10 lines with pdlua).

[list prepend] is a [swap] for anything.
