:) always appreciate a practical attitude
Practically, it's looking more and more like I need to drop the wishful thinking that I can write a useful and easy to understand textbook based around vanilla Pd.
And instead write an easy-to-understand explanation of how to deal with the current situation re. externals, namespaces, nameclashes, library-loading and path-settings when your book is about sound design first and when a lot of these issues are still in flux? I'd rather use [expr~] a bit in the book, as your book will definitely outlast the current situation (from what I've read so far).
Oh, and when [abs~] becomes part of Pd-vanilla, patches using [markex/abs~], [zexy/abs~], [cyclone/abs~], [creab/abs~] are in danger.
Note that I also think, the math objects (abs~, pow~ etc.) should be part of Pd, and probably symbol2list.
Ciao
