Which reminds me: The abstraction you see is the cyclone
"pddp-meta"-patch. These are always called just like the library,
which suddenly to me doesn't seem like a good idea, because if you
import that library it introduces an avoidable nameclash with the
library itself, if or maybe with other objects. 

Assume I made a library to deal with textfile-managing and I wanted to
call it "textfile". Then the metafile would be "textfile.pd" but it
would nameclash with the [textfile] builtin.

I believe, the meta-file should have a different name composed of the
library name and an additional post- or prefix, like
"cyclone-PDDP.pd", or live in a "meta" subdirectory or something like
that. Comments?


Ciao
