the original and big idea of GridFlow is to be a kind of APL for Pd. This
explains the naming and behaviour of some objects
(#fold,#scan,#inner,#outer) but it doesn't explain why all indices in
GridFlow start at 0, even the numbering of dimensions (in a picture,
0=rows, 1=columns, 2=channels).
How much did you aim for compatibility with matlab/octave and why?
