Please, read the archives on this one.  This change does not do what  
you think it does.  I really wish we didn't have to discuss this once  
every month or so.  And yes, I use diffs on Pd patches frequenly.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the  
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of  
it."
