I like to embed help, comments and even examples in my abstactions, 
so I don't have to provide a seperate help patch. But I understand your 
point. Then maybe using "-help.pd" as a suffix instead of "help-" as a 
prefix would be a better idea, for readability, but I guess that's 
totally subjective. Another solution would be to use a different 
extension for help patches, something like ".pdh".
