Summary: [vcf_filter~] does not instantiate without arguments
Initial Comment:
Running Pd-0.39.2-extended-2006-11-23 on Mac OS X 10.4, when I instantiate [vcf_filter~] without any arguments, it crashes Pd.

i think that this should be handled by Pd itself:
Pd knows that there _is_ an objectclass [vcf_filter~]. Pd then calls the
constructor of this objectclass which fails.
So Pd should be aware that this is not an "unfound" class but a class that
could not create for _other_ reasons.
in this case, Pd could expose the possibility to access the help-file even
though the object cannot create.
i have submitted feature-request #1907998 that asks for this.

any chance of fixing it by setting a default value instead? Or maybe have
it instatiate but do nothing without an argument. I think it can be quite
confusing and annoying if you need an argument to instantiate. For
example, I often create an object to open the hlep patch. That wouldn't
work here.

i have fixed this in CVS by replacing A_DEFSYM by A_SYMBOL in
vcf_filter~:323
this makes [vcf_filter~] refuse to create when no argument is given
instead of crashing pd
