pd-arraysize
There is no point in making tiny packages like that. In C, the command for that is a one-liner.
In Pd, it's also a one-liner: [expr size("myArray")]. Well, I guess it's a three-liner if you want the same functionality as [arraysize]:
[loadbang] | [symbol myArray( | [expr size("$s1")]
So what is the point of [arraysize] in the first place? Is the package there for compatibility for people who have already used [arraysize] without having known about [expr]?

Why would it have to be not only accompanied by many lines of wrapper commands, but also further lines of comments, its own file, license headers, and then a freaking deb package ?
Where are those packages : glibc-printf glibc-sprintf glibc-fprintf glibc-sin glibc-cos
Beyond a certain point, breaking things into little packages is stupid.
