[PD] iemguts/try and external paths

[Liam Goodacre]

This is a real shame, as [try] would only really be useful in loading unloaded externals. Should the "yet" in the helpfile give us any hope that it will one day be fixed?

As far as I can tell, an external object will not load within try, even if it has been properly declared, unless it has been successfully loaded before. In other words, the normal methods of using "declare" and specifying the path in the object name are not working with "try".

this is a special case of what is documented in the help-patch as:
> This does not (yet) work with abstractions, but only with externals.
 
this should really read "but only with loaded externals".
 
obviously, it would be better if it did work with not-yet-loaded
externals and abstractions as well.
