Yeah, that's nonsense. Pd-vanilla is the origin of the
<m_pd.h> interface for making externals.
Btw-- the manual makes a distinction between "abstractions" and
"externs".
It needs to, at least a bit, because they have a different loading
priority : *.pd is not sought for at the same time as *.pd_linux, for
example.
I think it's useful to people doing stuff with audio who want to learn
Pd without being surrounded by a haze of thousands of possibly useful,
possibly buggy, poorly documented object classes that may or may not be
usable for someone on a different machine.
If you thought Pd-Vanilla was that well documented to start with, you
wouldn't be maintaining a separate set of help files.
How can those classes affect those users ? I mean, how can the collection
of pd-extended classes act like a haze, when the users don't look at a
list of 2000 classes ?
* "Puritan Data"?
I could be joking but I don't feel like it.
