however: personally, i am not very sure about this.
ithink it is one of max's most cumbersome "inventions", and actively
hinders patching.

otoh, it is of course a nice way for beginners to get an overview over
existing objects.

so i'm not trying to say that the plugin is a bad-idea in the first
place, but rather rejecting the notion of "OMG, MUST".


but anyhow, a very brief glance at the code shows, that the plugin draws
its knowlege about auto-completion from hardcoded lists.
i think it this is plainly the wrong approach, instead that knowledge
should be gathered on-the-fly from the list of currently available classes.

but of course, i haven't even tested the plugin, so this might already
be happening (and the hardcoded lists might be either left-overs or
additional hints).

PS: and my understanding of the legalese is pretty close to dan's.
