[PD-dev] cyclone and uppercase

Hallo,

With "real" I mean everything that is loaded with the -lib command line option.
There was a time, when only that was called a library, collections of
abstractions were called abstractions and externals were externals, sometimes
collected into or preloaded as libraries. The confusion about terms is not my
fault. Maybe I should call them library-libraries, in accordance with the usage
of [sssad/sssad] or [list-abs/list-abs] :-P

_From what you wrote I assumed your motivation for suggesting aliases was Max
4.5/6 compatibility, not a problem with uppercase library names (which Python
has plenty of btw.)
