Yeah, I think that PureData should be made compatible with Max only when
there is no reason to do otherwise... If there are annoyances in Max then
there should be no urge to duplicate them. Unfortunately there are also
annoyances in PureData that just stay there because of inertia and
backwards-compatibility.
