[PD] size of a table

[pix]

two things that might be a first step on the way to a solution:

when you use soundfiler with -resize, i think it returns the new length of
the array.. you would have to announce this on some gobal message..

the other thing that is really very much a hack...

when you send a "resize" message to an array, you can catch the message
with a receive object... i dont think this will help you at load time
however, unless you have loadbangs triggering a bunch of resize
messages...

heres a little patch to illustrate the point..
