since my personal preferences for those "," appendices to objects go
into the direction of using them for messages that the object itself
can understand(e.g.
#X obj 100 100 readsf~, open foo.wav;
) i'd rather vote for keeping "meta"-messages (e.g. those that tell
the GUI-renderer which color the object should have) separate.

e.g.
#X obj 100 100 readsf~;
#G width 10;


oh btw, i really don't see a reason to use cryptic 'f' selectors, when
we could use meaningful names like "width".
