I dont think we as a group could appreciate the work of Miller enough.
Even though his C geniusness has churned out some sort of interface not unlike an object oriented visual c++ object with connectors I mean think about it.
make a new pd object itś like
saying
make a new class that does these functions on this data
with a bit of $0 trickery you can even make the classes data private and make multiple instances of the class.

Iḿ not sure that it would have been possible to make such a beast using c++.
