[PD] Abstraction [define]

[Kyle Klipowicz]

Similarly with encapsulation, I am still thinking that being able to
encapsulate a selected group of objects into a pd object while preserving
the connections would be great.  From there, it's not too difficult to
create an abstraction either.

I really like that justification of 'decoupling' the iemGUI, Hans.  That's
EXACTLY why it's a good idea.
