I guess > most Pd users here know what I'm talking about. By implementing that, you would once forever prohibit the proper way to expand $0 which is expanding to the selector of the message. That's why I oppose your proposition. (Actually, it doesn't matter whether I'm opposing it or not since I don't contribute any Pd code. But I can at least point to the fallacies.) I absolutely see the convenience of your proposition, but there would be no good explanation for it. Consider it a bad coincidence that both kinds of variables use a dollar prefix, there is nothing in common between them (expanding to creation arguments versus expanding to atoms of messages). Personally, I would totally find it convenient if Pi was an integer number, it would make so many things so much easier. Roman
