actually zexy provides the [>~] objects _additionally_ as abstraction
which do exactly this: wrap [expr~]

the only problem with this is, that you have to decide beforehand
whether you want to have signals or float (messages) on the right-hand
input.
that's the main reason why zexy also provides [>~] as an external object
(that allows both, depending on whether you specify a default argument -
just like [+~] and the like)

it's probably always a good idea to try to have a look inside 3rd-party
objects; sometimes they really are just abstractions and you can learn a
lot...
