[PD] array comparison

[William Brent]

I haven't looked at your patch, but you could do this fairly easily
using [tabletool].  In the case of one table, you can store the
snapshot of old values in a table (called "old-snapshot"), then, if
the new data is in a table called "current-data", do

[subtract old-snapshot(
|
[tabletool current-data]

You'll get the difference between the tables out of [tabletool]'s
right outlet, which you can write to a third table, then use the [abs(
and [sum( functions in [tabletool] to get an indication of how much
change there actually was.  Instead of absolute value, you could also
square everything, sum it, and take the square root.  Either way,
you'll get a single number that indicates how much the current data
differs from the old.
