Wish
* [inlet] and [outlet] should have numeric argument.
Rationale
Currently, [inlet] and [outlet] objects seem to number themselves
according to their positioning in the canvas (AFAIK). This is a bad thing
because:
1. Behaviour should not depend on graphical appearance, except when
otherwise not possible to do so. For example, if several connections
come out of an outlet, connections are treated in an unspecified order.
It is considered a bug to rely on that ordering. (Is it? I don't know
the puredata mindset enough for that)
2. Each functionality must be accessible by at least one explicitly
specified behaviour. (i.e. unspecified behaviours do not count as a
valid way to use a feature)
Does that make sense to anyone?
