Are you really sure you want that? These days most Pd-users expect an implicit float-to-signal conversion. This might lead to unexpected (though well-defined) behaviour of your objects. My advice is to not try hard to break the expectancy of your users.
Hello,
In normal circumstances, I'd be in 100% agreement with you, the user experience should be consistent throughout the entirety of PD. But in this situation I'm doing work for cyclone, and in particular scope~ accepts a signal in the right inlet for graphing on the Y-axis and a separately a float to change the buffer size and I'm trying to stay as close to the original spec as possible.
