[PD-dev] tooltips

Hi all,

I have been planning simply to put inlet attributes as arguments, once the
correct design becomes apparent.

I'm not sure it's best to load the up/downsampling filters directly into the
inlet~/outlet~ objects; it's certainly possible simply to put them in the
subpatch instead.

Other ideas I'm thinking about are: 

a name,
a message type (for checking connections)
an inlet~ with double outlets, one for an incoming signal and the other
   for messages to the same inlet.

cheers
Miller
