multi-purpose "array" and "text" objects. "Array" is a more general

sort of like Max's "coll" but simpler and hopefully more powerful.
great, that's really nice.
How are they more powerful than coll? What do they do?
I assume they come with the same data-loss (what goes in as symbol may
come out as float) and symbol-table anxiety (don't fill it up!) Pd currently
comes with.
"text"s are also avaioable as fields in data structures.
is it possible to update [pointer] or other object's help files to
know how? or send an example patch?
Can texts be used as lists in data structures?
I noticed the new scalar object.
What does it do?
Is it also supposed to edit already existing scalars? Can it have a
"delete" function, which can yet only be done in edit mode or by
deleting the whole canvas?
Besides adding an important feature to the program, it also prevents
something that happens now and then: some scalars can become "trapped"
inside a patch, without the user knowing about it, if they aren't
being displayed somewhere. The only way to detect and delete these
orphan scalars would be by editing the patch file in a text editor.
Best,
João
