Yes indeed. It is important to reiterate the basic rule of
committing that we follow. I think is lightweight yet effective: if
it isn't your code that you committed, then always ask before
committing.
As for implementing substantial changes to soundfiler, I think the
way to do it is not to try to get the modifications into Pd-vanilla,
there are so many issues of backwards compatibility. Instead make a
new object, even if it is largely just a modified version of the
original. [sndfiler] is a good example of that.
