That makes sense. Are you after the literal selector in this case, or the one that the documentation implies should be there? For example, if I feed a list with a single floatarg (e.g., "list 42") to [selector] does it tell me the selector is "float" or "list"?

That certainly doesn't mean it has to be implemented. But filling $0 with something completely unrelated is probably a good way to irritate your userbase for very little gain. -Jonathan
