i made an prepend_alternative-abstraction, because i don't want to use a
whole library only for one object (for a project with different pd-users
i'd like to keep the number of involved libs as low as possible).
i don't know to which [prepend] it refers. the first argument (symbol or
float) of the abs is prepend to the incoming msg. there's also an inlet
to set what to prepend (symbol or float).

chun lee:
maybe it helps you out of your [prepend]-nameclash-confusion.

for me, it behaves like i would expect it from a [prepend]-obj (it's not
nice code, but i think it works)

it needs some zexy-objs: glue, a2l, lister.(i hope everyone uses zexy)
