Sorry, I should have put a disclaimer: complete hogwash!

I was just referring to the blog that started this thread, where the 
complaint was that instantiating a simple [metro] object can crash Pd.  
I don't think it is true, nor do I think that there's a 
get-out-of-crash-free card for each integer above 0 in the GF numbering 
system.

I made a patch once with a slider with range 0-11, but it only let you 
slide it up to 10, unless you click a [tgl] associated with it, to get 
one more.  No matter what it's controlling, it's a lot of fun.
