i had the idea, but you know that it's actually impossible without
changing the pd core.
dyn~ currently uses pd functions which means that it can't avoid
clicks when loading.
Parsing and loading a pd patcher file line by line won't really help
when there are large abstractions in it... you will have to
recursively parse these too, otherwise pd will load them as large
single chunks.
