You're lucky that OSX accepts filenames like ==~.pd_darwin. Will it also
accept *~.pd_darwin? Or <~.pd_darwin?
Usually objects with weird names (names that are illegal as file names)
need to be set up in a library first, so that their names can be registered
without Pd having to search the filesystem for them.
