[PD] functionality of "text" object

[oliver]

hi,

(sorry for making this a feature-request spot)

as there are talks about an upcoming new PD release:


there's one feature of the [text] object i'm missing most of the time, 
which is an "insert" method.

i.e. to insert a new list at a specific line number and shifting the 
rest of the entries one line up (rather than just replacing the old one).

also the fact that [text sequence] can also work as a global message 
sender is such an important feature for state-saving concepts ... i 
think it needs a better and more prominent hint in the help file. i just 
discovered it some days ago, it's a fantastic but obscured feature.

(looking for a remote sending mechanism inside a help patch for 
sequencing is not too obvious - even if it says 
"sequencer/message-sender" next to it... ).

best

oliver
