expose more how list are spread out over the inlets

[porres]

currently [line~]/[vline~] expose this but other objects could hint to this as [makenote], math objects, [expr] and stuff

line and line~ (and I think vline~) also do non-standard list distribution - the ramp-time inlet resets to zero after each segment is started.  That's why list-input behavior needs to be described explicitly.  "Normal" objects like makenote don't reset inlets.

BUT I guess it's still true that sending a list to line, etc., is still equivalent to distributing the values over the inlets, in the same way as for all the normal objects.  The not-quite-standardness is in the way the middle inlet itself acts.

As I wrote in the list back then, I agree the not-quite-standardness is in the way the middle inlet itself acts, but it is still behaves the same wether it takes a list input in the left inlet to distribute or a single value directly

Actually the not-quite-standardness is in the left (hot) inlet, which resets the middle inlet...
