hi,
even if in a very vague way, I would like to defend the idea of
introducing qualified class names into Pd, in some form or the
other. First, I think people are generally used to this idea --
it is a natural way of thinking not only among c++ programmers
and other freaks, but also among internet surfers (domain names).
Second, any central naming system would require establishing the
central authority (or a voting system), and enforcement powers.
Third, if there are two externals providing the same feature, but
differently, I would like both to have the same proper name, and
either explicitly qualify in an object box, or globally declare
that I am going to use one or the other (such declaration should
be part of a patch, instead of a command line, though).
