This is a nice idea and somehow it brings up the question of
namespaces again. I can think of external names, "foo" is in fact a
good example, that might be used in several places. We should of course 
avoid such name clashes, and maybe a mechanism developed for
pure-data.sf.net can be a testbed for namespaces. But I have no idea,
how such an architecture is best defined...
