Here you go, an attempt on wrapping the saving and loading of an Array with
preset_node.
Issues which I haven't gotten around:
- Dumping the Array to a list needs a bang, and the only way I found to get
that automatically was [r arrayname_changed]. Now this is l2ork-only which
is OK, but it also bangs only on manual changes (ie "drawing") to the
array. (Please correct me if not.) Another possibility is having an inlet
to bang.
- When tested, it seems that somehow only a single state is saved. No idea
why, I may have messed up something.

Dumping to/from a list is based on Dan Wilcox's rc-patches.
