wow. it seems like i really made it into (another) flame war.

please, all of you, be assured that it is not my intent to change the
behaviour of [atan2] to be a unary operator. (correction: my intent is
to have a usable [atan2] which unfortunately it is not - due to the
incompatibility in behaviour introduced with the change from 0.37 to
0.38: probably one of the worst things that ever happened to pd)

i only wanted to point out that i _can_ understand why [atan2] does not
behave like an ordinary binop. obviously you dont.

my ability to understand does not imply that this ("understood")
behaviour was intended by miller.
