[PD] [PD-dev] REQUEST: Passed parameters into subpatch

[Christof Ressi]

Ah, sorry I terribly misread your question! Ignore my last mail :-/

Passing arguments to subpatches is currently not possible. Generally, 
how would you distinguish between abstraction creation arguments and 
subpatch arguments? $1, $2, $3, inside a subpatch already refer to the 
enclosing abstraction's creation arguments. This means you would need a 
dedicated syntax (or a dedicated object) to access subpatch creation 
arguments. I don't see this happening, to be honest.

I'd say, if you need creation arguments, just use an abstraction ;-)

Christof

PS: internally, subpatches don't really have creation arguments at all. 
Instead they have a pointer to the canvas environment of the enclosing 
abstraction or root canvas.
