João, you say it can't "embed" and save contents with the patch, but [text] allows you to do so with the "-k" flag, why don't you use it?

[text define] is the base for [jp.coll], and it has to be created dynamically at startup. also, apparently the contents are saved with the pd file in a line such as "#A set this is a message \; this is another 1 ... \;;" From what I tested this is saved with the patch where [text define] resides, which in this case it's the abstraction and not in the main patch. This would need to be changed in Pd's workings so that -k contents are saved on the main patch file.
 
You also have not implemented assoc and deassoc, I'm thinking about that.

coll saves the text separating with a comma the index and the actual message. You can also do that with [text] and if you do so you could potentially use it to define and detect an address, and have something else associated with it - I hope you know what I mean and that I'm not too confused.

this is the main reason why I didn't name it [jmmmp/coll] but [jmmmp/jp.coll]. Adding commas to a [text] messes up the number of lines - can be seen already in the help of [text get]. Now I remembered I could put the commas back in, and do an internal conversion for the line number. If this works, it would allow for assoc/deassoc, and make both coll versions practically compatible (except for missing features).

Btw all (?) jmmmp objects are dependent on other jmmmp objects - mostly [f+]. Some of them have to rely on other libraries as well, but usually it's better to have the whole jmmmp together.

actually, just one external (f+), but used multiple times

Oh, I see that's also a vanilla abstraction :) sorry
