[PD] [PD-announce] pd 0.47-0 test 1 released

[Matt Barber]

I don't know, I have a huge soft spot for [list-drip]. I think it's the
paradigmatic example of how to do a recursive function in Pd (naive
approaches to which usually die with a stack overflow). It makes sense to
have a built-in iteration method for [list], but I'd kind of selfishly hate
to obsolete [list-drip]. It's great for teaching because it makes students
think a lot about how things are implemented.
