Re: [sc-dev] Valid UGen input rates

[Scott Wilson <s.d.wilson.1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you actually brought it up back in this thread:

https://listarc.bham.ac.uk/lists/sc-dev-2007/msg02636.html

I think it would be nice to have this, but...

1. Would be nice if you could detect it for auto help generation and,

2. there is a potential complication not discussed in the above  
mentioned thread, which is that the valid types of input might vary  
based on the rate at which the UGen is running. In most cases this  
might be simple to intuit, but might not always be so.
