It's not quite like [delay] in that the delay time for this is unpredictable. It's not just that it affects depth-first processing, but that if you patch it wrong you may get bugs you can't always replicate; that's not the case with [delay], whose behavior is predictable in principle.

i don't think a threaded version of [coll] is so out-of-the ordinary
that it will confuse people out of their minds.

thanks, me too, but you've put it really well and better than I could...

I've been using Pd for a while now, and don't think I'd ever be confused with seeing that at all

oh, and of course the term "deterministic" can be stretched quite far.

and that's also a term that confused me, I'm more used with "depth first"

Anyway, I just worked on a new help file and everything. I'm keeping the an option for unthreaded and all, but I'm also saying one should not use it and just adapt to the best patching practice instead if needed.

cheers
