i once tried and added a method to canvases that destroyed them.
it did work, but only a few times (some 1000). after creating/destroying
1000s of obects pd was sure to crash.
i only changed the pd code slightly (some lines) and therefore i hope that
this (obviously something like a memory-leak) wasn't my fault.
nevertheless i never found the real bug, but maybe miller found/fixed it
already.
i do think that this has to be done before we are able to continue in this
direction, so who volunteers
