For the issue at hand, I'd rather if you extend the selectors section to explain that list messages can generally be transmuted to float/symbol messages (and vice versa).

Note however than if ``inlet_new`` is invoked with the ``list`` symbol as selector, then
as a convenience feature, both ``float`` and ``symbol`` messages will [also be supported](https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/patches/164/),
but never arbitrary messages.

hmm.
i'd rather not link to 17 year old PR that was accepted 10 years ago on a platform we no longer use.
(in general, the documentation does not link to commits,... that only show when/how a given functionality was implemented).
