Written english is quite different in application and parsing to
objectboxes in the Puredata patching language. In my opinion the
directory prefix adds to the understanding of what an objectbox is
doing by adding context, whilst in your example above the context is
inherent in the rules of the language and hence clumsy, confusing,
and redundant. I think you are comparing apples and oranges, and the
comparison is not a good argument against directory prefixes in object
boxes.

That is really cool.

Best,
