Absolutely, but that's a bigger project, largely because it involved so  
many more people.  This is definitely the direction we should go in.   
But instead of just moving existing objects into new containers, I  
think we need to design each library first, then reuse code when its  
helpful.

So like libraries in other languages, Pd's libraries should have  
consistent terms, naming, and interfaces.
