matju, How long would it take you to
implement the "$@" thingy that you commented on in the patch tracker? That would be a big step forward and would surely get included in pd-ext and pd-l2ork.

Jonathan,
When in jan 2007, I talked about "$@" in the patch tracker, it had already been implemented by Iohannes and submitted in aug 2006. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1543850&gro...
I know, but I think your suggestion is cleaner-- you can get then number of args by [$@(--[list length] so $# isn't needed, and as you point out, having a way of saying "put args from $n and up in this object box" is very useful. (Without that, one either has to make the number of args static, or use dynamic patching-- i.e., either be less flexible or complicated.)
PS: the [delwrite~] clear method http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3170987&group_id=557... is still assigned to "nobody", because it's waiting for any of the five project admins to click on a button... It also didn't appear on pd-dev@iem.at either : http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2011-02/thread.html
If one of the admins (finally) takes care of that, would you consider submitting a patch for $@ with the functionality you wrote in the comment?
