[PD] Pd External Question

[Miller Puckette]

It's fine to just use (t_symbol *) for function arguments.

The only reason there's a separate "t_floatarg" is that some 90-s era
compilers weren't able to pass single-precision floats as function arguments.
I don't think we'll ever see that happen again but there's no reason to
go through and take it all out either.

Beware:  when mixing symbols and floats in parsed argument lists, Pd will
send all the symbol arguments first, then the floats - not necessarily
in the order that the arguments appear in the Pd message.

cheers
