[PD] Delete scalars

[Miller Puckette]

I'm thinking about making a message to "pointer" that deletes the object
after the pointed-to one (thus leaving the pointer itself unchanged) --
the gotch is that it would "stalify" all other pointers to the list, at
least as things are currently implemented.

As far as I know, there's no way at present to do it, short of copying the
entire list out to another window and selectively copying back to the
original one.

cheers
