FWIW, I adamantly oppose this kind of an approach within pd-l2ork because
if the original object behaves wrong, it needs to be fixed. And if any
patches really on this wrong behavior they should be fixed as well.
Otherwise, this is not a Max compatibility library and the pd libraries
that are treated this way will morph into a confusing pile of similar
objects with minimal differences and an incredibly steep learning curve.
