global pattr name lookup

So, the pattrmarker object has one f#$%ing message and I missed it. Doh.

Disregard my message...kind of. It would be cool if there were kind of an add_client message that reported when the list changed. It'd save me a send and receive.

Doesn't seem to be too expensive... ;-) Or take a pattrforward instead, at least it would save you a receive... And it would avoid a global receive name...

Indeed...that works pretty well.

I generally just want everything in the pattr universe to keep me informed of what it is doing without me having to ask it though. No big deal.
