As more people ask for features in popup the more a property dialog looks
best... It seems too early to worry about this for me since all I really want is
a nice stable API for gui externs in PD that include property dialogs.

Miller, do you have any interest/estimate on this?

Oh and while I'm on the topic, is there a function in the PD API to remove
special characters from strings that have special PD meaning (; $ \ etc..) and
pass a clean string of atoms on..? (right now you can type "; pd-array clear" in
the "entry" box and it will send the message to the pd-array receive. Cute for
some things, a pain for others...
