objection was based on the fact that the patch added a record to
the t_class struct. So I was thinking that instead of storing the
tooltip data in t_class, it could be stored using a custom struct
like t_inletdescription that was then added to object's class.
so the new objection will be based on the fact that the patch added
a record to the t_class struct?... i mean, this struct doesn't make
any difference with the original objection.
Do you have a record of the original objection? I am just operating
on memory.

I guess the advantage of putting it into t_class is that there
would only be one copy of it.
Indeed.
That makes sense since every instance should need the same data.
Why does this make sense? I mean, how can you actually tell that
every instance should need the same data?
