...and it would be lovely to have the text appear in a tooltip when
mousing over the inlet/outlet in the parent patch! The drawback
mentioned by Phil could be pretty annoying though. Question 1.:
What's up with tooltips in pd right now? I couldn't find it out
from the list archives.
They will display for the object text, based on the description of
the object inside the META subpatch of its help patch. They will
display for xlets, showing the types of messages accepted, based on
the META subpatch of its help patch.
Question 2.: What if the parser would explicitly stop parsing
elements when it finds ";#" and would use the remaining part as a
comment/tooltip/whatever? Could this change break anything in real
life?
[;# obscure example; but i think matju's #V is a better, more
readable solution that could also be used for lots of other graphical
properties, and would safely be ignored by older versions(

:-D took me a while to understand that one, but yeah, thanks for
