self-modifying abstractions

[Krzysztof Czaja]

hi,

indeed, but this is an argument for using [logic]->[blah] instead of
[logic blah] with [$1] inside.

If you are into hacking, then have a look at my self-modifying
subpatches.  First put 'selfmodif.pd' abstraction where Pd can
find it, then open 'show-selfmodif.pd', and wait 4 seconds.
