Ah well, the pdx7 is a very bad example because it's a very bad patch
viewed from now. But still quite okay for a first try at using Pd.
Ergonomically it's a desaster. But the IEMGUI elements were not a part
of Pd then.

Syntax highlighting is a good example of how simple measures can have
quite an impact. Sliders, radio buttons and toggles are the equivalent
in Pd.
