hi all.
after talking to hans at the convention, i have created 2 new externals: [propertybang]: outputs a bang when you select the "property" menu-item for the abstraction that holds this object. [saveargs]: allows you to change the arguments of the abstraction that holds this object in the next save.
these 2 objects allow a persistent property handling (and eventually a state-saving of abstractions a la iemgui-objects, though this might eventually be costy.
the remaining question is: where to put these objects; they are not really zexy (since they depend on g_canvas.h, which is not yet found in zexy), and i have not found a general "hack pd interna" lib.
suggestions? else i will probably ask thomas to include it into iemlib(2), as it somehow fits to the [dollarg] and [parentdollarzero] objects.

PS: hans, i thought you would do the property-side of this. seems you are late :-)
