Summary: Make each canvas uniquely adressable

Initial Comment:
For the purposes of dynamic patching, it would be very
useful if all canvases were uniquely addressable. For
example:

[;pd-my_abstraction.pd foo bar(

Should retain its current behaviour and go to all
instances of that abstraction

whereas

[;pd-$0 foo bar( 

Should go to its container canvas.

And the expanded $0 variable should work from other
canvases. E.g. if $0 above expands to 1001, then

[;pd-1001 foo bar( 

should have the same effect as the above, but work from
any open canvas.
