[PD] namecanvas obsolete? Why? Re: Dynamic Graph on Parent

[brandon zeeb]

According to [namecanvas] help, this object is obsolete?  How else can one
send a message to one and only one abstraction without using namecanvas?  Is
there the concept of 'this'?

The example below will send a message to all patchname.pd abstractions, this
is not what I think most require:

[message(
|
[s pd-patchname.pd]
