I think this is definitely a good thing in terms of accessability.
If someone codes these missing 10 and submitted them to the patch
tracker, I'll bet there is a good chance that they would be accepted.

Practically, it's looking more and more like I need to drop the wishful thinking that I can write a useful and easy to understand textbook based around vanilla Pd.
Using [expr~ pow($v1,$v2)] instead of [pow~] is exactly the sort of ugly and confusing thing that sabotages learning, don't you agree?
Why we don't make the vanilla object set operationally complete is beyond me. There are less than 10 essential missing objects and less than 20 desirable ones.
Why build a bridge 90% across the river and expect people to jump the last few meters?
