Summary: documentation error in cos~-help.pd

Initial Comment:
(This is a DOCUMENTATION bug, not a bug of the program, but I can't find such a category here)


The description of the cos~ object in its help patch says:

"The cos~ object outputs the cosine of its signal input"

while it should read:

"The cos~ object outputs the cosine of 2*pi times its signal input"

I attach the updated cos~-help.pd file

Note that the "cos" (without ~) object does NOT believe the same way, since it does output the cosine of the input in radians. This situation is not ideal, but correcting it would be a disaster for the portability of pathces. However, it must be documented.

the doc is fixed for 0.41 ... the fact that cos~ acts differently from
cos is ugly but it's hard to see what else to name "cos~"...
