Yes, I can understand this, and I'd like Pd to be as flexible as
possible, too. However I can only think of one occasion, where
changing things inside a [pd $0-something] is not enough: Changing the
number of inlets and outlets. Everything else is possible to do inside
a named canvas created through subpatching, or isn't it?
Ciao
