Yeah, but what happens in this case is that this suite of abstractions
would have one or two objects each (plus [inlet]s and [outlet]s). I'm 
talking about the case when most of the patching may count as 
configuration.

Besides, etymologically, "configuration" is "the picture that things make
when together", which is a pretty good description of what a pd patch
is...
