 <P> Templates can get notified when data are selected/deselected.  I want
 to provide this for mouse actions on locked canvases too, but haven't yet.

+number boxes or other GUI objects, get filtered out so that they at
+least don't hang Pd up.

+<P> Drawcurve (and the others, filledcurve, drawpolygon, filledpolygon)
+have a new "-x" flag that inhibits a scalar getting
+selected when the curve is clicked on.  This is useful for drawing stuff in
