[PD] Grokking [declare]

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I added querying to [import] and it now uses the same mechanism as  
[declare].

[declare -stdpath zexy] only works on Mac OS X, you need to do it  
like this on Windows and GNU/Linux:

[declare -stdpath ../extra/zexy]

I am proposing to change this behavior, I think it should start in / 
path/to/pd/extra.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into  
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess  
himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
