I've implemented #V, but not any handlers for it. This means that it can 
load and save #V directives and will preserve any content. The order of #V 
directives is not preserved for a given object, because it is stored in a 
t_hash.

I was thinking about supporting one atom per property but ended up 
supporting a whole list per property instead.

Patchcords can have #V directives too, because they partially count as 
being objects themselves (t_outconnect is now an extension of t_gobj and 
it's now allocated using pd_new instead of getbytes).

turns out that \, is a A_SYMBOL after parsing, and that messageboxes 
further munge arglists by turning the \, A_SYMBOL into the A_COMMA.
