yes, this is what I did in MouseState/mousefilter, and in the
Scope~'s current version (to some extent).  The tricky part is how
to do it with a minimal overhead (avoiding duplication of the
tk<->pd event stream).

I do not like to mess in the Miller's code.  I do not think it
should be done without a clear view of an overall picture of what
is going to happen in future releases, etc.  Or, to put it
differently, I do not feel like having the skills.

want them now...

right.. needs some thinking about backwards compatibility, though

thanks again,
