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.

Thinking here off top my head. Have list cat and add into it a single 
arg (e.g. "blah"). It should output "blah" on bang or whatever triggers 
output, as opposed to "list blah".
