I was hoping that compatibilty as a goal would be a two-way
compatibility: Patches, that were developed on DD would also be
running on MSP-Pd, minus some features like faster graphics or special
objects like [tracecall] (which would only be like a missing
external).
missing functionality is missing functionality. It can be missing classes,
missing methods, it can be nonsense output such as empty symbols, it's
still missing functionality. I don't know why the addition of any classes
like [tracecall] [parse] [unparse] [unpost] etc. would be exempt from your
two-way requirement.
I think that the argument we're having, boils down to whether the
type-checking is a real feature of [unpack].
So I conclude that your compatibility is a one-way street, which I think
is a pity.
Sorry, why does it have to be two-way?... I think that it's a pity that
you're asking for two-way.
I just find the disappearing or changing meaning of "0" confusing.
What have you ever used that meaning for?
