With the small caveat that if you don't start with a clean [pd $0-poly],
you get errors like:
error: throw~ 1002-out0: no matching catch
error: throw~ 1002-out1: no matching catch
on startup. Because of the initial "clear" message you've implemented,
this causes no trouble after startup.
From another follow-up:

D'oh! Sometimes the obvious approach flies right over my head!
Nevertheless, I appreciate your patience in explaining this powerful
object, Frank, and thanks for putting it in CVS.
