they should stay.

[import] is an external; allowing externals to add new properties 
persistently will most likely blow the current pd fileformat.

imho, [block~] should actually be a property.
however, this means that we do need a way to communicate with the patch 
directly, because [block~] has an inlet that is used...


personally i would love to have a (non-deletable) inlet somewhere in the 
patch (at the bottom?) that can be used to send messages to the canvas 
instead of binding it to a receiver name.
but then: how does this fix the problem of delete all?
