This would mean breaking backwards with Cyclone. It would also be a nasty break because patches would simply fail to compute correctly rather than throwing any kind of detectable error. However, for my vote I am ready to take this step. Cyclones ordering really seems to be in error. x^y seems natural to put the exponent in the second argument. -- Use the source _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
