hallo georg,
the problem is, that you have to remember in which library an object is, 
no help patch uses import or declare, and at least for me they are not 
working. I would like to use every object without having to add the prefix.
let's say I want to use OSCroute...
I put an object [import oscx].
but OSCroute ... couldn't create
only oscx/OSCroute works, and then I can also use OSCroute.
I can import OSCroute, but only after I imported oscx.
almost all the help patches that rely on one of these libraries are broken.
for me it looks like I have to import every single object in pdxt before 
I can use it, that's really not a solution.
what I want is, that when I type OSCroute, the library is loaded. and 
there should be a default loaded that gets loaded if there are 
nameclashes between different libs. for nameclashes it makes sense to 
use the declare or prefix, but for the rest it is rather annoying.
