just for the record: it will not create in pd-extended (or with
externals compiled in libdir format), but it will with externals as
library. 
i don't think, that the author(s) (IOhannes?) of zexy had this in mind,
when writing zexy. afaik, that was far before pd-extended came up.

personally, i think as well, that these objects are good candidates to
be inlcuded to pd-vanilla, as well as these: [abs~], [sgn~]
