nothing apart from being a modified version of [tabread~] which
might do what i want or not.certainly the exact meaning of the elements "tab" "read" "4" and

"4" stands for 4-point interpolation, that is true. But there are
many algorithms for 4-point interpolation, as this thread as laid
bare. tabread4~ could also describe something that reads 4 values
and averages them, it could also be the 4th version of tabread~.
Those are all existing naming conventions in Pd.
Feel free to critique my suggestions, but it isn't really productive
until there are suggestions for how to do it differently, rather than
merely saying my suggestion is bad.
How about putting the algorithm name in there somehow?
