[PD] database-like stuff in pd

[Damian Stewart]

i want to do something like the following:

- load up a whole bunch of samples (or floats, or symbols)
- group the samples (or floats, or symbols) by tagging them
- be able to call up any sample/float/symbol with a particular tag, 
possibly randomly.

i'm thinking something along the lines of a database object, which i could 
send messages of the form eg [add <key> <value>( to store values tagged 
with a particular key; then i could have another instance of the database 
object which i could hit with messages eg [findfirst <key>( or [findrandom 
<key>( to spit out a <value> with the matching <key>

does something like this already exist?
