True.  I wonder if its harder than in a text language tho.  You could  
bury your import statements into the code, but Java convention says to  
put them on the top.  A Pd convention to put your [import]s in the  
upper right could work similarly well.

possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of  
it."
