Because my point is that it doesn't import names of externals locally. So 
if it's not local, then it doesn't really matter that it does the same (?) 
with multi-class externals, because that's not what it should do.

Fortunately, nameclashes are a relatively rare occurrence, otherwise we'd 
more often hear things like « restart pd in order to avoid nameclashes 
caused by [import] being present in patches that have already been 
closed ».

So, is this a bug in Zexy, or a bug in the way «namespacing» is 
implemented ? What does this case prove ?
