[PD] Grokking [declare]

[Matt Barber]

Hello,

I can't remember for sure but I think [declare] might only work when
the patch is loaded.  Try the same things you did earlier, but save
the patch and reopen it before you add the desired object/abstraction.

Someone please correct me if this is wrong.

Thanks,

Matt
