[PD] [PD-announce] apt.puredata.info is back!

[Jonathan Wilkes]

That feature comes at the expense of compatibility, which
normally wouldn't be an issue _except_ that Pd
Vanilla already has the same functionality.  So let's encourage
use of the more compatible way using [expr], which is
clearly documented and supports the _exact_ same features
as arraysize.
