not sure if this was discussed before: would it make sense for [get],
[set] and other pointer-related objects to be template agnostic?
This is already possible. You can use "-" as a template wildcard. This
is documented for [set], [get], [element], [setsize] and [getsize].
For some reason, this doesn't work with [append]. I have opened an issue
on GitHub: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1506

Hi list,
not sure if this was discussed before: would it make sense for [get],

means that an object [get mytemplate x y] wouldn't need the
"mytemplate" argument, and it would get the fields from any pointer it
receives.
This would allow to simplify the programming in some cases. The way it
is now, it needs lots of duplicated code when getting elements from
different struct templates.
Best,
Joao
