ah i see.
the problem extends to anything that can register a class (via
class_new()), and loaders do that quite often. (after all, that's their
main business).

this is basically what could be solved with canvas-local
pd_objectmakers, and which is the part that *does* require careful
thinking (and a trip to the bahamas).
