that is for arrays though
i mean as methods for [pointer] ..

from 0.intro.txt :
'you can only get the "next" element or "append" to the list.'

prev and remove would be nice ..

hmm... can dynamically update signal arrays but dynamically creat ?

as in, when you define template with   [field <name> array <template>]   in
it,
 each append creates a new   [array <template>]

if they were signal arrays, maybe could just define   [field <name> array]
(type float assumed).. then this array could be resized etc like normal
arrays, but also used as target for (tabread4~ tabwrite~ tabreceive~
tabsend~)

i guess this requires tab*~ being able to use pointer as target.
or use [set $1] being able to resolve pointer into name for use in tab*~

maybe another problem is blocksize and overlap ..
maybe these could be defined as the block attributes in
the window where the template is instantiated .. (ex   [pd data] in
examples)

hmm.. =)
