Looks good to me. Personally, I don't really see a use case, but that doesn't say much :-)

As you said yourself, the method names are not exactly pretty. Maybe we could use the full names, but then again I don't even know what "-d" and "-do" actually stand for...

I have a special use case at least for 'do'.

You see, I am designing this multi channel oscillator bank abstraction. It takes a multichannel signal for setting the frequencies of the oscillators and I am using clone for each oscillator in the bank.

Now, I want the user to be able to set if is desired that the output is a single channel or a multichannel, but for now I can only hardcode this in the [clone]'s creation arguments.

I hope @millerpuckette sees this as something that is actually important to have

"-d" etc stand for "distribute". Another possibility would be "-f" , etc, meaning "fan" , "fan-in", "fan-out".

I don't want to add any more features/options right now - I think we haven't finished debugging everything that's already in there.
