I'm not sure, if I understand your problem, can you illustrate, what
you want to do with some patches? I read it, that you want to have
soemthing like [pd $0-name] for an abstraction [$0-abs], right? As
nothing is known about $0 except that it is a number unique to an
abstraction, you cannot use this unknown number in a filename in
advance.

If you want to reuse abstractions, you have to handle the variable
part inside of the abstraction's arguments. You can pass $0 in
abstraction arguments, if that helps in your case.

Ciao
