It doesn't work for those selectors: bang symbol

Why do you say it doesn't work for list?
because it doesn't.
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." Other than this, are there instances where
[symbol] doesn't work correctly with lists?
I think there are. Anytime I find something like that, I make an
example patch and add it to SVN. I encourage others to add to this
collection since they are quite helpful in thinking about how we can
fix things to make them work easier:

.hc
As far as I can tell you just need [route bang
symbol], two message boxes, and a [symbol] object.
There's no need to protect the message boxes because
whatever is coming out of inlet 0 and 1 of [route] is either
a bang or a symbol, both of which will trigger the msg box's
output without changing its content.
You are right, two [b] are extraneous. You still need [b]
to protect msgbox «symbol list» from [route list].
In light of what I wrote above, you'd actually need
[route bang symbol float] to correctly convert lists with one float
element.
