Actually the import objects maybe aren't so good at it because in the last
two years the grid inlet interface has been able to accept 'float' and
'list' messages and convert them on the fly, including lists that contain
dimension and numbertype specifiers. So most of the conversion meat has
been shifted to grid.c (and maybe main.c).

And then this all occurs on the Ruby side of the world, so
bridge/puredata.c does another bunch of conversions, which is slower, and
then you can't call Pd functions directly from gridflow.so (which is
everything except bridge/puredata.c) because gridflow.so is not supposed
to depend on Pd.
