[PD] expr alternative

[i go bananas]

hi andy - of course i'd be very willing to know your point of view here,
particularly from your firsthand experience.

i didn't even know or care a thing at all about licenses until about 2 years
ago, and that was just from being employed to do the sound for an iphone
app.
with my own stuff i have come from a bit of an anarchist, feral techno
background, where actually breaking copyright and ignoring laws was part and
parcel of the scene.

all this shirt and tie business is quite foreign, but i just thought that if
there was some way i could help make vanilla a little bit more
'vanilla-ish', it would be worth a try.  at least worth a thread on this
mailing list to see the various ins and outs of why there is currently one
small section of the standard pd distribution that cannot be used in certain
situations.

no disrespect to anyone is intended, but if some is somehow implied, even by
sending an email, then yeah for sure, it is of course important information.
