If you load all the libs, then it'll act as if everything was directly
in extra. So if you load "iemmatrix" as a lib, then [mtx_print] will
work without [iemmatrix/mtx_print].

Yes indeed! A real import would be lovely. But unfortunately, not so
simple. There is a very basic [import] included in Pd-extended. In
order for it to work, it needs to be the first object loaded in a
patch. You can ensure that by cutting every object in a patch except
[import], then pasting it all back and saving it.
