correct me, if this is wrong, but i understand, that overriding internal
classes doesn't work with single-file externals. so the feature of
overriding internal classes doesn't and won't work with pd-extended.
this is what i call the incompatibility. a patch, that loads cyclone,
assumes to be using the [pow~] of cyclone, while on pd-extended it does
actually use the pd [pow~]. this is _not_ related to the version of
pd-extended, this will virtually always be true, wouldn't it? so in my
terminology, introducing the ability for external classes to override
internal classes is what i call deliberately introducing a _new_
incompatibility between pd vanilla and pd-extended.

please someone correct me, if this is wrong or based on wrong
assumptions.
