the first element of an objectbox is not a class name, it's a constructor 
name, which usually coïncides with a class name, but not necessarily. A 
constructor name is a selector in a special object known as [objectmaker].

therefore, class aliases and method aliases are the same thing in pd, to 
the extent that people know and use that fact.
