[PD] Gating

[Carlos Pita]

> for data spigot

I tried spigot but it readily clutters
the patch too, it's not as different as
using 1/0 multipliers for audio. You must
send 0/1 to the cold inlet according
to your output selector which amounts
to n^2 connections (from each selector
to 0 or 1 for each spigot), plus n*2
from each 0/1 to its spigot, plus n
to combine spigots outputs. It's ok
for simple cases (are multipliers are)
but to gate 4+ control streams could
be awkward.
