hmm, great, thanks, that is what I wondered, if anyone had bothered to bring this up.
Anyway, from the thread: "you are violating the 3rd rule of $-expansion: "there is no $0 in message-boxes"." I can deal around with it... but I just wonder if this third rule could be easily revised/changed. I don't see much of a problem, and it would make some stuff easier. So, here is my plead in favor of this case, I support the cause... But if you say that it would be a pain in the ass, or argue that such rule must be mantained for some logic reason, I am cool. I've read something about: "it would make $0 be even more complicated to understand" But I totally disagree, I have been teaching a lot basic Pd around, and people always get confused and think they can just throw "$0" in messages. So I have to state and reinforce that there is an exception that it doesn't work on messages. Without an exception at all, it should be easier to get it, as I understand. And despite all that, as I see, "$0" on messages is just not good for anything. So, completely useless... it is just like putting a Zero... Sorry for insisting anyway...
