One question-- how do we ship an abstraction as a core object? I<br>
suppose I could make a default-loaded lib named vanilla-compatible for<br>
stuff like this. But then if someone runs Purr without prefs the<br>
abstraction core objects wouldn't load by default.<br>

There are a few updates in Pd that haven't yet AFAIK made it into Purr which could be very helpful, particularly [inlet~ fwd] and [pdcontrol], so getting those into the architecture could be part of this project.<br>

Besides that, I have some unsureness regarding project implementation details, namely, what Pd version we have to use in the project (pd-l2ork 2.x or pd vanilla)? Along with core vanilla objects, should we use objects from external libraries (let's say [drunk] from cyclone)?<br>
