If we prefer to stick to simple, C-inspired syntax, I'd recommend looking at Lua's approach with its table data structure. There is beauty in the minimalism IMO. I am not really of the opinion that Pd should expand to naturally include every data type to solve every problem in everyone's own way. For specific problems, that's where an external or scripting interface comes in.

yeah, so, you think that if we could add these to Vanilla we'd need not to add more data types, huh? I also wonder what is the advantage for an external to create and deal with an extra data type. The might be some I guess but I have no idea and my intuition is that it's best to just treat these as Pd lists with some special syntax.
