[PD] Idiomatic V0.0

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Sounds very interesting.  I think this is along these lines, I have  
been thinking of drag-n-drop behaviors for Pd's GUI.  I was thinking  
it would be awesome to have a file association mechanism for drag-n- 
drop. Basically, you would associate a patch to a file type.  Then  
when you drop a file on a canvas, the contents of that patch would be  
stuck on that canvas.

For example, drop a .wav and a readsf~, and open message and a toggle  
would be placed there.
