well, this is true
but equally true is the fact that when I type [print] into an object box
I instantiate the [gf.print] object INSTEAD OF the plain-vanilla pd
[print] object
the plain-vanilla/standard issue [print] function is called with [pd/print]
this is unnecessarily confusing to the user
as I stated earlier:

I am putting forth a suggestion:
that all non-native objects either have a [prefix _objectname]
or a unique name [crazy_name_here] so that an object is differentiated
from the standard set of objects
