note that the error message made me believe the flag wasn't loaded properly and that there could be an issue, but a better error description should exist telling you need 2 symbol argos.

Hi, documentation says you do need 2 symbols when using the '-s' flag, so it's a bug in your patch. Also, there's a [pd data-structures] subpatch with examples on how to use this flag, so I don't think there is a lack of information on the help file (same is true for [text]).
I wonder what Pd version or fork you have.
cheers

the "pointer" method for [array] objects is hardly documented and actually
seems to be not working at all.
While said method works fine for [text], i have to say that [text]'s help patches would also benefit from a demonstration of that feature.
Ok, I can improve help files, can you open an issue for we to discuss it in https://github.com/pure-data/pddp ? It is still vague how you want this improved
In my attached example, i was working on a simple vanilla-based binary-to-digital converter and i wanted to use [array sum] as a handmade [accum] object. While the "naming" method with array obviously works, the "pointer" method either doesn't or i don't understand it.
I see errors printed on your patch, don't you?
array set: unknown flag ... -s array sum: unknown flag ... -s
maybe this is a bug loading flags in [array], I will look more carefully.
cheers
