Token for multichannel control stream / list

[jamesb93]

In the max reference and supercollider documentation there is reference to CCE specific terminology. This should be managed with a new token so that the CCE exchanges the words.

For example, from pitch~

The process will return a multichannel control steam with [pitch, confidence] values

Sounds good – were you planning to PR this, or do you need input from me?

I'm flagging it as I go. I'm happy to PR it at some point - I think I should be able to bash my way through implementing it.

1. Multichannel control stream / list
2. Camelcase-d names of arguments/methods

Is it true that this will be the same implementation as |buffer| is currently?
Can I add to the list a token for 'dictionary' as well so that we can link to it different CCEs.

Do you need help with this @tedmoore? You are more expert than me in all things docs right now but I'm happy to take this on.

It could be. My only gripe with the substitution syntax is that I haven't found an elegant way of adding it to docutils programatically and have been appending the rst command it to the input string instead, which makes me sad. In any case, clearly the syntax should be the same as for buffer.

@james It sounded like you were planning to the to control stream / list one and I was thinking, while you're in there doing that, maybe add a dictionary one as well!? This is a lower priority for me, I was just adding it to the "list" if someone was going to dig and and go after it.

dictionary indeed will be text object in pd - when they exist that is, as not many objects have used them so far - so having a token is a good idea.

Okay, I'll attack this in one go then
