Then let's go with [file patchdir] for now. I don't care too much about
the name :-)
A bang would unsurprisingly output the patch directory.
You can also send a path name as a symbol. If the path is relative,
[file patchdir] will resolve it to the patch directory. Absolute paths
are passed unchanged.
Should we also provide a creation argument and float message for the
parent level? For example, [bang( -> [file patchdir 1] resp. [1( ->
[file patchdir] would output the parent patch directory, etc. This would
make [pdcontrol]'s [dir( method entirely obsolete.

Both would essentially provide the same things. IMO, [file resolve]
would be more intuitive because after all that's what people likely want
to do when they ask for the current patch directory.
I dunno.
iirc, [file which] was originally named [file resolve] but I started a hearty
dislike for this name, as I think its rather confusing.
