hmm, that is a good example:
[osc~]s inlet is basically a signal inlet: if you send a message [float 
557( to it, it actually receives a signal with all samples set to 
557.0f.
should we display all values for the entire sample block or just the 
first value?

do i understand you correctly, that you want to replace a clickeable 
area which is 100% controllable by the user by another clickable area 
which is predefined in order to make things less cluttered?

you can do a lot of things with gop objects. for a (non-working) 
example see the attachment; this example brings to my mind, that it 
would be far more important to make abstractions equal to externals and 
vice versa (e.g. the "default signal" is missing in abstractions)


in understand the need for an "inspector" of the current value. 
personally i would prefer to inspect things on demand over a permanent 
notice of what goes on in my patch (in the best of worlds i know what 
is going on)
