[PD] writesf~ time to flush to disk…?

[Dan Wilcox]

Speaking of bangs doing the job, I wish [tabread] had a right outlet that banged when you gave it an out of bound index. I was trying to make a vanilla version of [tabdump] and that would allow me to know when I've read the whole table without needing to know it's size explicitly.
