So for me to understand, we have them both because we don't have Number2 by
default with Vanilla, did i understand right?
Number2 ([nbx]) is in vanilla since 2001 or so.
Number2 exists because it comes from an external library that was merged
into vanilla back then.
Number1 still exists because Number2 isn't backwards-compatible with
Number1 and so can't actually replace it. Number2 couldn't be made
backwards-compatible anymore because it was already used by those who
started pd with -lib iemgui.
Actually, a special constructor could have been made for that case,
similar to how [hradio] and [vradio] also exist as [hdl] and [vdl], but
there's also a big mismatch of options between Number1 and Number2, such
that it isn't really easy to merge Number1 and Number2 without making a
more complicated whole with even more options.
