[PD] Idiomatic Pd

[Mike McGonagle]

Actually, reading this thread for me has shown me that one idea that I have
been using is a lot more common that I had thought. The idea of naming the
receives on an object with an "r" at the end (or whatever) to distinguish it
from the send was something that I wasn't really sure if it was a "Pd Idiom"
or not, and I really had no idea how to ask a question about it...
