yeah, that would be more "classic" a message like "load presetname" and
"save presetname", but that doesn't matter....


i see here [state] only saves floatatoms and symbolatoms

what those objects do, and other gui objects don't?

also, i see no such function about state persistance in dev-docs (i
refer to http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/ since i haven't found
anything else)

is there a reason why pd lacks this (imho essential) feature?
