hi all
more and more i realize that i can do most basic things in pd without externals. before all, the introduction of [list] made many objs of externals, that i used a lot, obsolete. one (in my eyes) basic task remains uncovered by list: splitting symbols into lists (e.g. separated by a separator-char). it would be very nice, if this could be done in future versions of pd. i really like the idea to be independent from externals as far as it is possible, mainly for reasons of portability. even if i could reach the same with less code, i'd prefer the solution built with only natives. are there good reasons against this idea?
