miller suggested in graz how they could be implemented differently. He is not happy with the way they are implemented now because I had to change the size of the inlet structure. So there is not too much hope that they will be in Pd soon. Moving or not moving, yellow or green background :(
hm ... i looked into the code some time ago and iirc, the inlet structure that is given by m_pd.h is defined as EXTERN_STRUCT and all api functions handle with pointers to inlet structs. maybe i'm missing something obvious, but i don't think, we loose binary compatibility with older externals...
what was miller's idea? adding the tooltip symbols to the t_class of the object?
cheers ... tim
