Does anyone ever using the [serial] object in Windows that is in Pd-

Well it has significantly less functionality than [comport] (output
only, no way to change baud rate, only works on Windows...not even a
help patch).
Why not put [comport] into vanilla, maybe renaming it [serial] for
Max compatibility?
I think we should not put comport in vanilla because then we have to
do extra work to work on it (i.e. submit patches and wait for Miller
to accept them). [comport] has a very different API than Max's
[serial] so that would make matters worse. I would like to see an
object called [serial] that has an API more like [hid].
