-#X text 29 150 Detach is working on control objects only \, creates
-a helper thread and runs all functions of the following object in this
-helper thread.;
-#X text 27 194 If a message form that thread reaches a join object
-a callback for running the outlet function will be placed in the scheduler
-and run in the next scheduler loop - so you can synchronize the message
-with pd's main thread again.;

-#X text 30 436 detach/join provide the possibility of threaded patching
-\, beware of the risks:;
-#X text 30 466 - not every pd object is thread-safe (if unsure \, look
-at the source \, ask the pd-list or me);
-#X text 31 497 - pd is not completely thread-safe itself;
-#X text 31 516 - everything that is triggered by the detached message
-will be detached - so don't mix threaded and non-threaded message paths
-unless you know what you are doing. use join to synchronize with the
-main pd thread !;
-#X text 31 575 - if detach/join crashes pd during a performance \,
-don't complain ...;
-#X text 31 607 - both detach and join have an overhead ... so only
-use them if you really need threaded patching \, e.g. have a subpatch
-that has to run for quite some time and would interrupt audio or something
