there _is_ an internal 'poly' in Pd, yet there is no 'poly~'.  The
picture is rather sad --

One poly~-like project is the 'nqpoly' self-proliferation
abstraction by pix, which works pretty well, but in a larger
project it might prove difficult to maintain.

The 'clone' external by Olaf Matthes adds multiple i/o and some
other goodies to my old rabin~ (which in turn has been transformed
into 'polite~' -- hopefully a basis for cyclone's poly~).

None of these is a full-blown poly~.
