thanks for all the amazing new stuff! :)

I didn't do exhaustive testing of the new and updated features yet, but
since you've asked for feedback, here goes. All testing done with latest
revision (4f92725) on Manjaro (Arch).

On the bright side, 'sys_fopen' appears to work fine, so ticket #34 can be
closed.

'clone' also appears to work fine, AFAICT (only played around a little with
the help patch).

On the not so bright side, I can get neither 'array' nor 'text' to work.
The corresponding help patches just make pd-l2ork segfault as soon as I try
to open them. Even a rather minimal test patch (bug.pd, attached) makes
pd-l2ork segfault. I've also attached a gdb backtrace from 'array'
(pd-l2org-bt.txt) so that you can try to make sense of this ('text'
produces basically the same backtrace). I should add that the same objects
work fine in vanilla for me, so it's probably *not* an Arch- or
cpu-specific issue.

The last thing is from my personal wishlist. While you're at it, could
'menu_openfile' please be added back to pd-l2ork? Suggested patch to
pd_menus_SHORT.tcl attached. I'm not sure how many external writers are
using this, but I certainly do as it provides a convenient way to open the
programs associated with Pure and Faust externals in Pd. I'm currently
applying this patch in the Arch package, but it would be nice to have this
working again on Debian/Ubuntu as well. Shouldn't do much harm either since
it's in its own namespace. :-)
