Speaking of bangs doing the job, I wish [tabread] had a right outlet that banged when you gave it an out of bound index. I was trying to make a vanilla version of [tabdump] and that would allow me to know when I've read the whole table without needing to know it's size explicitly.

so far i know of are two options:

• • being not entirely vanilla and use [expr size("$s1")] to query the

tablesize at runtime (without requiring the user to provide it manually)

• • stay entirely vanilla with Pd-0.45 and use [array get] which is a

more powerful replacement for [tabdump]

most compiled objects within zexy are there because i haven't found a way to implement them in vanilla (some are there because a vanilla implementation ist simply to slow; and the rest is there for vaniyt reasons)
