On the topic of minor message related improvements, I hope it's ok to chime in here, and I apologize if this has been hashed to death already and there are good reasons for the current state..
I'm doing a lot of making messages out of other objects to send to Scheme for Pd, and one thing I use all the time in Max is the right hand inlet for message boxes as a way to set the contents of a message. I'm curious whether there has been thought about adding that to Pd message boxes. It's a small thing, but very handy for the kind of patches I wind up making.
thanks! iain

PS more ideas of mine (among many): hot-reloading externs via a message to Pd use a "unix binding" socket between Pd and pd-gui instead of localhost generalize number/symbol box to allow displaying entire messages or

All good things, thanks Miller. While we're dreaming: tooltip style message inspection - when active, hover over a wire to see what's flowing or audition audio (maybe through compressor/limiter :) best, Andy
cheers Miller
