[PD] Expr V0.5-alpha

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

Ok, I don't think I was able to get the new version working, anybody else
did?

This might be too late in the game, I know, but if you're including
features, I have some requests.

In [fexpr~], I find it would be good to set a starting value for the
current sample input, you could set this via a set message and that would
overwrite the signal input for that sample.

You can now set just about any previous samples, but no current.

I see you'd need to create a new syntax for this, something like "set in1
0.4" (to set x1[0] to 0.4)

I really need this for some applications where I'm using fexpr~ as signal
accumulators/counters

=========

A wrap function like [pong]
