oh, another name-clash in one of my libs... (probably the IEM should get the
nameclashing award), i hope it has been there before the GridFlow version.

as for the "weird" [unpack]-behaviour, i chose to do so because of readability:
as long as objects are not resizable, a [demux] with 20 outlets is rather hard
to read if there is not some mechanism to make it wider than 8 characters.

but i really could make it compatible with a single-argument [demux] (as i
suppose, nobody has a demulitplexer with just one outlet...)

are there any functional differences (as i always thought, that zexy's
[demultiplex] does exactly what a demultiplexer should do: demultiplex a
data-stream to one of many outputs)
