[PD] efficient approximation of trig functions for hi pass formula (was: could vanilla borrow iemlib's hi pass filter recipe?)

Does anyone know a tool that will display the line number of a vim session in 
a large rectangle next to the terminal window?
The one could do a screencast and just scroll down through the source explaining 
what each block of code does.
Then people could just search youtube for the relevant c source file, and queue up 
the video and search until the relevant line number appears in the big rectangle.

That is an important question. Pd code is full of clever tricks and
bit hacks for dsp efficiency. What is the origin of q8_rsqrt(), why
and how does it work? What about PD_BIGORSMALL() in m_pd.h? And the
mysterious UNITBIT32 number in d_osc.c? Ideally such code should be
commented not only to denote its function (if necessary) but also to
reference the origin so you may be able to find info.
