[PD] [*] vs [*~]

why do patch cords have different width?

why can |*~| multiply two signals, but why can't |*~ 1| do that?

> And then why is it that [*~] can't multiply a float by a signal, the

why is there no |!/~| object like in max/msp? and why is expr~ so slow? 

why are the inlets of |pow~| reversed?
