 First thing, the other day you were complaining that someone posted a quote from you
without all informations, my sentence has been cropped after the comma, I was also saying that changing anything
in someone else's object would at least need a discussion about it, may be I missed it,
and apologize if it's the case.

 Even if it doesn't change the code, it changes the behavior,
it's completely like rewriting the object.

 In what you've explained before, it seems that the call of [print] object
involves mystic processes that wouldn't come to our attention
 if this discussion didn't happen.

 "Too much elaborated" would mean that it follow a kind of elitistic
way of doing things, like keeping a code undocumented, but in fact I was more thinking about
the build system when I wrote this sentence.

 It's not about of money, it's about uses in a professionnal context,
most of pd users have choosen this tool because it's free and has a lot 
of possibilities, but it doesn't offer quality and stability that a professionnal tool is supposed to have,
for me artistic activities is not in this context, or the art is dead.
