It would be nice to be able to use named function tables?

instr 1
a1 oscil 1, 123, "sine"
out a1
endin

f"sine" 0 1024 10 1

No more would I be met with silence when I ask my students what the
number after the oscil's frequency represents!

In most circumstances yes, but...

I'm thinking of creating a Cabbage widget that would let you browse
for sound files in a folder. Not a popup 'open dialog' but an embedded
list view of files. Selected files would populate a function-table
list. When the user hits hey presto the sound files in the function
table list would be loaded into a set of function tables via a
sequence of score events. The user would set a starting number for the
tables, or set a name for each one. All that should work fine, but it
would be nice if the user was able to use the function table names in
their code. It would make it so much easier to remember which samples
are in which function tables when you are editing their code. It's no
biggy, I think it will work really well even with this small
limitation in place. And it should allow you to change samples/tracks
in real time, as you can do with other audio software.
