[PD] scratching my head about zexy

[Roman Haefeli]

hi all, hi IOhannes

after having installed pd 0.42.0test5, i assumed to have discovered a
behaviour change of [unpack] and [pack], until i noticed:

a) zexy comes with its own version of [pack] and [unpack].
   why are they called the same? i really don't get that.

b) in pd 0.42.0test5 they seem to override the built-in classes.
   is this a bug? if yes, pd's or zexy's?

c) the zexy versions can explicitly be called by using the 'zexy/'
   prefix. how is that possible, although zexy was compiled as
   multi class library? is that _the_ solution to have multiclass
   libs and separate namespaces at the same time?


it's definitely not backwards compatibility safe to replace all built-in
[pack]/[unpack] by the zexy versions, since the zexy versions reads the
'f' and 's' literally and thus some patches produce lots of errors (due
to inlets receiving 'f' instead of '0', for instance).
