I found it rather harder than I expected (eg: what is the rationale 
behind the type of class_addcreator()?), so I wrote a dirty quick class 
(in Lua) that lets you load/reload scripts at object initialization 
time.  Doesn't have a reload method because iolet counts may change. 
See "luax-help.pd".

This is done, also quick and dirty, neither:
  "load foo"--[lua]  (which runs 'foo.lua')
nor:
  [luax foo]  (which grabs an initialization function from 'foo.luax')
use the pd path yet.  Shouldn't be hard to fix.
