Yeah, really cool.

I think, that now, that the "negative numbers" bug of [until] where negative numbers acted like a bang, is fixed in the next Pd, maybe we should tell beginners that they can send a number into Pd when they are unsure if their patch is stopping [until] correctly. Maybe we should even *preach* to send numbers instead of a bang into [until] in general? If you use a large enough number, it's "almost the same" as a bang except that it will stop by itself at some point.
