Do you mean as they currently exist in Pd-Vanilla?  Unless you're 
hooking them to tcl/tk I think that'd be of limited value.

My replacement API probably needs a few passes, though.  Right now it 
looks like this:

gui_vmess("some_javascript_function_name", "sfiis", "c-string", 98.6, 
42, 42, "etc.");

Looking at it now, it seems wrong.  Maybe the format string should come 
first, and that function name
should just be the next string arg after that.  An alternative would be 
for the first arg to be a pointer to
a Pd.  (But then you'd have to send a 0 or dummy object for messages to 
the running Pd instance.)

One caveat is "s" here is a c-string and not a t_symbol* as it is in 
pd_vmess.  Also, I'd like to add a
char to the format string for hex strings that representing objects, but 
I'm not sure if that should be
"x" or "p".
