[PD] Idiomatic V0.0

[Mike McGonagle]

Hello all,

This is the first release (still beta) of a Lua program called
"Idiomatic". The purpose of the program is to allow the instantiation
of various Pd objects from a template. The intention is to allow the
user to create any Pd code, saving it to a file, and then loading it
back in as a new collection of object (rather than using an
abstraction). The point of it is to speed up the creation of new
patches by automating the creation and wiring of these various
template.

It should be able to take any Pd patch, reading it, and then producing
a new set of Pd objects based on that idiom.

Currently, there are a small set of idioms from which to choose, but
the creation of more is easy.

It requires [lua], and from zexy, [list2symbol] and [symbol2list]

The steps to using it are:

1. Create your 'idiom' template file and save it.
2. Load up the help file.
3. Select the 'idiom' you wish to generate (some example exist in the
'basic' folder.)
4. Choose the subpatch window in which to produce the 'idiom' (do
note, that currently it will delete the contents of that subpatch, so
do becareful).
5. Copy and Paste the new objects where you need them, and modify to
suit that specific need

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Mike
