I had a quick look: That's quite nice and very useful. Of course it
also has the problem, that now looking at a patch and a printed patch
won't give away all of it's workings. One cannot even say, if a
certain object is of a certain kind just by looking at it (see
attached patch: the left toggle in fact is a subpatch). So this
feature has to be used with great care. 

I think it would be nice if I didn't need to open the GUI dialog
everytime I want to edit the object. Something like showing the object
name and argument automatically, if an object is selected in edit mode
would be a useful improvement. 

Other than that: great work!

I attached another possible use for this: myvsl.pd, a vslider whose
range is easier to set by arguments then the traditional vsl. This
way, Hans could finally make the slider objects with a default range
of 0-1 which he wished for several times in the past. ;)

Ciao
