Since you've now written another, do you think there is a possibility  
of making a nqpoly "kernel" for making poly systems with different  
functionality, like the auto-[switch~] version, the instance manager  
version, etc.

What I do a lot of is making a patch, then controlling many copies of  
it, so I plan on making a version of nqpoly4 that works well in that  
situation.
