Multiple definitions - templates & lists

[0000-Admin(0000)]

well, just to take up this blurb again...

wouldnt it make a lot of sense to have a mechanism for naming certain
objects, i.e. "send", "receive", "state",... either with a $1 as argument
or an inlet. i am thinking of "real" instantiation of sub-patches...

or is something like that around anyway and i just overlooked it...

thats just what came to my mind while doing subpatches, lately...

best,
gert
