routepass bug or feature?

MIB's icon

I was expecting that when the new routepass object was given a single number as input to match against, that number is output. seems though that a bang is sent instead...
Is this a feature or a bug?

Thanks for any clarifications...

With [prepend list] it does work. Seems that only lists (and symbols) can be routed.

interesting. kind of makes sense now that you point it out... but only kind of. wonder if this is on purpose and if so, what the thought behind the decision was...

thanks!

could you instead use [match]?

It's more a bug than a feature. it'll be fixed for the next incremental. Thanks for the clear example.

oops, didn't look at your patch...

I guess you can't use [match] because you can only use one number per [match] object (otherwise you would be matching a list instead of individual numbers).

If you wanted separate numbers to match, you'd need separate [match] objects.

thanks for the clarification Emmanuel!
