[PD] repeated subpatches

What if there were a new kind of subpatch, like [pdx subpatch-name] to distinguish the duplicatable mirrored subpatches from the regular [pd subpatch-name] subpatches?  This would prevent any incompatibilities with earlier patches.  Of course someone would need to come up with a better name than pdx.

is it just me that gets annoyed that this email is part of the "separate

no pd doesn't do something like that. abstractions need to be available
as separate files to be reusable.
however, i remember miller has mentioned that he plans to allow
(reusable) abstractions inside the main-patch.
however, this has been a year ago, and it seems to not have made any
progress.

(but probably he has just forgotten it, so your mail might remind him
and it could get implemented for 0.40 :-))
