[PD] scratching my head about zexy

[Roman Haefeli]

hm.. only now, i see that overriding built-ins seems to be intentional.
when starting pd with loading zexy, i get:

warning: class 'pack' overwritten\; old one renamed 'pack_aliased'
warning: class 'unpack' overwritten\; old one renamed 'unpack_aliased'


and pd's built-in [pack] can be instantiated with [pack_aliased]

?????????
