Yeah, in the help patches you can just let the user know that "Scope~" is there for legacy reasons. They
shouldn't need more detail than that.
But do add at least a few comments directly in the source. We're juggling too many variables to leave it
to the reader to deduce:* discrepancy between case-sensitivity in the objectmaker method space and the external library loader* (related) when to symlink (Linux, OSX) and when not to symlink (Windows)* Pd community generally does not use capital letters in object names* why it's necessary to add a creator with a backslash in it
Actually, I already forgot the reason for that last one. So a few words in a comment preceding that
call would be very helpful (even if it's mainly to point the reader to the changelog).

Try testing without loading any libraries at startup.
that's what I was doing in the first place, been using a clean vanilla with no libs installed, but I re checked and all
About documentation, this issues can be addressed in a changelog and inside the help files of particularly affected objects for sure.
cheers
