Hell yes! If Miller included this in Vanilla, I hereby pledge one bottle of
top-shelf rum and/or whisky (at his option) to be posted to his offices. Good
old bribery.

Incidentally, this library I wrote hacks around the problem by connecting back
to patches after they have made a connection to the server. Unfortunately it
only works if both machines/devices running Pd are on the same local network.
The server is written in Python:

There's also this technique for allowing patches to communicate over HTTP but
it requires an OS that can run shellscripts, pdsend, pdreceive in the
background:
