[PD] Idiomatic V0.0

[Mike McGonagle]

Thank you, Frank. And a good idea about the replacements for the zexy
stuff. That way it could be useful with Vanilla Pd, just need the Lua
stuff.

Do you have any idea for things that might be encapsulated "Idioms"?
It would be nice to start some sort of library, and the things that I
put in there so far, are really just simple basic ideas. While I don't
think this sort of thing would be Universally usable, it would
eliminate some of the more mundane tasks when creating counters and
looping constructs.

I was thinking that rather than calling the help file a "help patch",
that it should really just be called a tool, as it pretty much
encapsulates everything you need to actually use this. I don't really
forsee anyone creating an instance of the [Idiomatic] object in a
regular patch.
