First, the user should decide - i'm not about to throw it out, but there 
should be a preprocessor definition for it.
Second, it's not as easy as i thought because the whole attribute 
mechanism depends on $-aware saving and reloading.
canvas_realizedollar is needed for that, like in the iem-guis. It's one 
of the examples where internals are obviously differently treated from 
externals.
It seems a solution would be that all externals are put into pd itself, 
so there's no need for an API.
