sorry, the [dac~] vs. 'dac~ in general' wasn't a good example at all. 

actually it is pretty simple. what i meant here was the distinction
between the class 'dac~' and the object 'dac~'. the object 'dac~' is an
intantiation of the class 'dac~', whereas the class 'dac~' is what you
would describe in pdpedia. 

the term 'class' somehow covers all capabilities, that 'dac~' does
provide you. you can decide to make use of these capabilities by
creating an object [dac~ 2 4], which is another object than [dac~ 1 3]
(or even another object than another [dac~ 2 4]).

actually, you never see a class, you just know, that it exists, but you
probably see many [objects] of this class.
