hm ... i looked into the code some time ago and iirc, the inlet structure that is given by m_pd.h is defined as EXTERN_STRUCT and all api functions handle with pointers to inlet structs. maybe i'm missing something obvious, but i don't think, we loose binary compatibility with older externals...
I don't think so either. Actually the tooltips were used a lot already without any problems.
what was miller's idea? adding the tooltip symbols to the t_class of the object?
No, he had the idea of putting them into a hash table. I didn't follow this thought any further though.
One reason why the tooltips are as they are is that I wanted to make only few and clear changes to the code so that it can be seen easily whats going on.
