Yeah, that was a Google summer of code project I mentored two years ago or
so. It would be great if it or something like it could propagate upstream
to vanilla. It's been long enough now that I don't remember a lot about the
code, but we worked really hard on it to make it work sanely with other
stuff. One reason we didn't extend this feature to regular pd subpatches
was that it turned out to be really useful to maintain a distinction
between encapsulation types with global $0 locality on one hand and local
$0 on the other.
