Nice one. (RTC-lib has some similar ones like [make-scale] and
[make-trans-scale], but I guess, "range" is a good name.) I'll include
it if you don't mind, though I'll remove the pddplink. All [list]-abs
including help files have to work with pd-vanilla withour error
messages.

This is probably better kept out of [list]-abs as it uses a
non-vanilla object but also because I'm very cautious about dynamic
patching and [namecanvase]. I'd rather not use these in the library.
