There is already [route] to get the selectors bang, symbol, list, float and only 'other'. But it would be nice to have something like this :

[33 hello -4.5 world( | [$0( | [print]

and get print: list not 0 as now

or

[open mytext.txt 45( | [$0( | [print]

and get print: open not 0 as now (and nor 'other' as does [route])

So the first element is $0, the second is $1, etc. I think it is not so difficult to understand for a beginner because it's logical. We must explain that [33 hello 4.5 world( is a list without the word list in the message because the message begin by a number and has several elements : it is the same [list 33 hello 4.5 world(. Idem for float. What do you think ? ++

Messages don't have anything comparable to the canvas' $0. A possible alternative use for $0 in messages would be the selector ("list", "symbol", ...) as that is the thing before $1, but implementing that could be even more confusing to beginners.

Why would that be confusing to beginners?
