This name prefix / wrapper approach seems like an implicit way of what Miller is looking at doing more explicitly via [clone]. Either way, they have also avoided having to update each object directly.

Also similar to Miller's approach, there appears to be a way to load existing mono externals in the mc mechanism. So yeah, same problem, similar technical solution, different implementation.

I believe this doesn't require any changes in libpd, thankfully.
