[L2Ork-dev] list cat

[Ivica Bukvic]

My understanding is if something has only one argument, at least in
pd-l2ork, it should be reformatted as a single argument rather than a list.
Otherwise handling outputted arguments becomes inconsistent and
problematic. Also, remember when you start adding arguments into an empty
list cat, the first argument added will be just an argument until another
one is added at which point it becomes a list.

Best,

Ico
