I think it would be even more userful to have hexloader work for
abstractions.

You just have to put every loader in the -lib section of your pdsettings
or pdrc. That's all.

Yeah, one thing that always annoyed me was that although it's extremely
nice to have this support for a bunch of extra languages, there's scarcely
anything significant that has been released for pd, that uses those
languages. I mean, there are not many of those language libs that appear
to have any more users than the author himself. It may be a sign of how
those libs are used though: I suppose that they are more often used for
project-specific code than otherwise. But generally, I think that they are
underused.
