[PD] integer values

[João Pais]

since what you need most is a click/activity detector to trigger your  
quantizer, it might be possible to do this with data structures - to avoid  
adding a [metro]. unfortunately data structures are complex to work with  
and I have no time now do try something. but you could look at my  
jmmmp/sliders abstraction and go from there. recent versions of pd have a  
click on/off detector in data structures, I think.

next week I could say something more about it, if this isn't something  
urgent.
