pd-arraysize
There is no point in making tiny packages like that. In C,
the command for that is a one-liner.
In Pd, it's also a one-liner: [expr size("myArray")]. Well, I guess
it's a three-liner if you want the same functionality as [arraysize]:
[loadbang]

[symbol myArray(
|
[expr size("$s1")]
So what is the point of [arraysize] in the first place? Is the
package
there for compatibility for people who have already used [arraysize]
without having known about [expr]?
yup, its all about compatibility with how people have used it.

Why would it have to be
not only accompanied by many lines of wrapper commands, but
also further lines of comments, its own file, license
headers, and then a freaking deb package ?
Where are those packages :
glibc-printf
glibc-sprintf
glibc-fprintf
glibc-sin
glibc-cos
Beyond a certain point, breaking things into little
packages is stupid.

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,
it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
