i wasn't proposing to deprecate it, but i was only saying, it is the _only_ reason to keep it i can think of.
"tabread4~" isn't such a great name that it should be used for the
new one. Why not use a more descriptive name for the new one? Also,
changing the code of tabread4~ will change the sound quality of a
piece. I think it is very important to keep the same sound quality
since many people have spent a lot of time building patches around
tabread4~ and like the way those patches sound.
