[PD] pow~, etc. in Pd-extended 0.42.5

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

If that is true, there could be a lot of patches out there that use  
[pow~] as cyclone's pow~ and would need to be changed.  Therefore we'd  
need to make some kind of way to alert people which one they are using  
and the differences between them.  The SVN is pretty clean, there is  
only one patch in there that uses [pow~]: (nusmuk/distortion.pd)

The vanilla pow~ does make more sense, IMHO.  I think the biggest  
concern is minimizing breakage and helping people avoid annoying bugs.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into  
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself  
of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
