Hi list, Miller.
A little late to the game I started to use [clone]. Some observations:
instantiate. Meaning you can't do [clone spigot 10] or [clone disk 4]. I think this is a bug, as the local abstraction should override any built in objects or externals.
confusing, I think it should be [clone clone-abstraction 16] because that's what it is in Pd terminology, right? (A subpatch being [pd subpatch])
clone object it closes itself. That probably has a technical reason but for the user experience it is a little annoying.
But generally I really like the functionality of it. Greatly simplifies some of my patches. I hope my feedback was helpful.
