[PD] array-abs

[Matt Barber]

Thanks!

The multideminsional array stuff is a good approach. I'll likely fold
something like that in (although it might be easier to implement if the
metadata were stored in a separate table). Resizing is quite difficult
since we want to preserve data. But since it wouldn't have to be done in
place necessarily, it would be possible to just store a scratch space
table, copy everything over, zero out the main table and resize, and then
copy the data back in chunkwise. [array get/set] are faster than I thought
they'd be, and they work great as a Pd analogue to "memmove" (see
[array-copy] in my collection). Working in robust bounds checking might be
tough.

I really wish you would have sent those to me on zip disk via registered
mail.
