[PD-dev] is namecanvas obsolete or not?

[Tim Blechmann]

hi miller, hi devs ...

i wrote an abstraction using message-based patching ... 

therefor, i was sending the messages to pd-test.pd ...  
but since it's an abstraction all other instances of test will receive
the same message, resulting in the multiple creation of the object ...

to solve this, i had to use namecanvas $0-test... and send the messages
there ... (example patch is attatched)

am i missing something obvious or is namecanvas not as obsolete as the
helpfile says...

cheers ... tim
