+PROTOCOL FOR [error]
+
+new:
+ optional argument which would either be a float
+ (e.g. the $0 of the enclosing abstraction) or a pointer.
+
+inlet 0:
+ set $scapegoat:
+ replaces the originator of the message by $scapegoat, which can be a
+ float or a pointer
+
+ error $1 ...:
+ causes its arguments to be concatenated, space-separated (may include
+ floats), and then sent through pd_error using the appropriate
+ originator (scapegoat).
+
+ list $1 ...:
+ for future use. would use pd_error2() (see README or previous mail).
+ $1 has to be a symbol.

+If +-test.pd tests [+], it can test for hotness, coldness, it can test
+that only one result is produced per hot message, that all results are
+float, that a few example additions work, and that with random inputs it
+respects commutativity, associativity, invertibility, within appropriate
+relative-error bounds, etc.
+
+However +-test.pd can't test that errormessages aren't printed during the
+testing. This may be something that we want to check for, and currently
+the best way to handle it is to search the console for error messages, and
+if there are any, restart the tests in verbose mode and see where the
+error happens exactly.
