this is certainly possible, if someone spend time working on this.
but my concern is : why is this important?

i mean : if you don't care about conservation or portability, just start pd loading a maximum of externals and use all of them.

but if you do care about conservation or portability, then load pd with only a minimal set of externals, and "declare" the other only when you need them.

So, my advice is :
better than making a mess and try to fix it latter, it's easier to make things clean in the 1st time.
