Re: "Click" and "Change" Notifications for Array Elements in Data Structures

hmmm, a setable receive symbols for arrays could be interesting. I see the
message it gets is just a 'bang' whenever there is a click, but being able
to retrieve the index and value of the changed element in a receive symbol
seems like a nice thing to have. Though I have lived without this just fine
and I'm not really sure about the use cases.

I had kind of a use case for this, but I realized that what I wanted was a
multislider GUI, so I made one that just works nicely as one. Using arrays
as a hack for multislider is a problem for me because I didn't want just
the 'jump on click' behaviour.

So I'm not sure about just requesting this functionality on its own, now
that I have my 'true' multislider. I'd go for it if we could also expand
arrays and also add a 'steady on click' mode, and also a 'bar visualization
mode'... but then maybe that's adding too many things just so arrays work
like something else.

Nonetheless, maybe just adding this functionality on its own could indeed
be a good thing.

One way to always 'poll' the values, of course, is with [tabread~], and it
works at signal rate

cheers
