probably true, but i don't know how you can fix this.

it seems like your obvious solution is to include [pdinfo] into
Pd-vanilla, Pd-extended and Pd-l2ork.
you can also simply include [audiosettings] and [midisettings] into
Pd-vanilla, Pd-extended and Pd-l2ork.

the advantage of the 2nd solution is that it is already there and a
few people are already using it, whereas your proposal gives exactly
the same functionality but is (afaict) not already there.

and [pdinfo] sounds like a query-only object rather than an object
that can control Pd.
