damn. I don't know where I pulled this out of. [setargs] doesn't have a
"clear" either. And I forgot to mention "add".
In the meanwhile, I added "adddollar" and "adddollsym" and I added
$-resubstitution so that instance args are updated in the same manner as a
new instance's args would be initialised.
Now I have two more questions :
1. how do I make the dollsym "$0-something-$1" in a messagebox ?
it seems like I just can't.
2. how is one supposed to handle receive-symbols and send-symbols the
way floatbox, symbolbox and IEMGUI do, with $ in them ?
I need something to read the "raw args", before $-substitution.
