This is a "me too"-message from me: For the same reasons as Thomas I'd
prefer to stick with "object". While "class" is more correct, I think
the difference is something only computer scientists are interested
in and Pd has a tradition of not always following the path of
mainstream computer science anyway, because it's not a tool mainly
targetting computer scientists but one targetting artists. I'd say,,
reserve the term class for pd-dev.
Ciao
