Personally, I think it would simplify so many patches and I would really 
like to see this happening.

This has been discussed at length in the mailing lists several times and 
it seems some people have a problem with it on a conceptual level (which 
I never quite understood). But on a practical level it seems like such a 
non-brainer... Dunno...

Anyway, I think a test release is the probably the wrong time to add 
features. We should rather focus on fixing the remaining regressions.

Let's hope for Pd 0.53 :-)

PS: there is also https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/627 which 
has been sitting idle for over 2 years now and I don't really know 
why... seems like a perfectly cromulent feature to me :-)
