I think adding that freeze option to delay would be fantastic and even 
more so when it gets Pd's functionality en par with the Max/MSP 
counterparts.

What I also would like to see is a tabwrite~-like object that uses an 
array to write to, but each new sample gets pushed to the next index of 
the array when a new one is added.
