Actually a thought occured to me: If the arguments of [unpack] should not also specify their types, why do we have these arguments at all? As I see it, then they would only be there to specify the number of outlets. However using the argument count to specify the outlet count is really awkward IMO, a much better approach (especially when used with abstraction arguments) for this would be to use a number directly to specify the outlet count.
I know what you're saying, and I just had to reply: I would not be surprised if the reason it was chosen to use the argument count was simply to ensure that the graphical box was large enough to support the number of specified outlets.. That said, I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to create a new object that behaves as you describe. Maybe call it "explode". :) Steve
