Also, I forgot to mention that I think abstractions (and maybe to a
lesser extent subpatches) should follow the right-to-left conventions
of Pd objects for input/output, even if it complicates layout on the
parent.  So for instance [gate] from cyclone is bad Pd style, IMO, and
an abstraction designed to mimic it ([gator], say) should be set up
more like a multi-outlet [spigot].  Even [timer] still bothers me, but
I guess it's a special case.
