I've thought a bit more about the subject. I find that a realisation of the idea on top of a custom gui object could have some rough edges:<br><br>(i) the code is not given at creation time, so if the number of inlets/outlets is to be inferred from it, pd objects should support adding/removing of inlets/outlets after object initialization. Is this possible?
<br><br>(ii) maybe the object will show itself in outer abstractions when contained in inner abstractions with graph-in-parent activated. Is it possible to avoid this?<br><br>I ask the above to the pd savvy in order to determine if it's viable to go this way.

<br>2) provide a object with a gui specialized for code edition.<br>3) provide some symbol escaping syntax so that, for example, everything between << and >> will be taken as a single symbol by pd.
<br><br>I think 2, although a bit laborious, fit best to the goal of code edition. We could treat code as a single string, instead of dealing with symbols, and we could even (this is wishful thinking) provide some syntax highlighting and formatting. I'm pretty new to pd but I guess I could take g_bang.c and friends as examples to start working with.
