I've done something like that for storing parameters in arrays, but
like matthieux bouchard said for matrixes, the length of the 'listed

the main thing missing in my nested list plan is a name for the atomt
type. it can't really be A_LIST because of this correspondence
atomtype -> selector
A_FLOAT float
A_SYMBOL symbol
A_POINTER pointer
but A_LIST can't work because the name "list" is already taken for a
type of non-atom message. (an atom message is one carries exactly one
atom which is always supposed to be of the type indicated by the
selector)
A list is just a bunch of atoms laid out contiguously in memory: I
guess that makes it a molecular message? ;) What about extending the
pointer type so that it can point to any kind of atom, including a list
of atoms?
