[PD] "get" method for Pd

I like "info" too, maybe [pd info(.  I like Jonathan's ordering because it also makes it easy to have a default receive symbol, so :

 [;pd info(

would dump all the info to:

 [receive pd]
 |
 [route info]

Then you could also specify specific things to request:

 [; pd info dsp(

would dump:

 [receive pd]
 |
 [route info]
 |
 [route dsp]

As for GUI-related things, I think 'pd-gui' should have its own 'pd-gui' receive listener, so you direct GUI-related stuff to [send pd-gui].
