also PdVjTools' [pix_preview] vs FreeFrame's [pix_preview]. I just saw 
this by trying to load PdVjTools' pix_preview-help.pd without compiling 
the actual external.

but I'm not looking into making a list, I'm looking into not causing 
nameclashes by importing names from people who have no idea about the 
existence of the [pix_...] namespace in Pd/Gem (because they don't use Pd, 
for example).

is it a good idea to have seamless integration ?
