> A little late to the game I started to use [clone]. Some observations:
> 
> 1. If the abstraction name already exists as an external, it fails to 
> instantiate. Meaning you can't do [clone spigot 10] or [clone disk 4]. I 
> think this is a bug, as the local abstraction should override any built 
> in objects or externals.
> 
> 2. In the helpfile the example is [clone clone-subpatch 16] which is 
> confusing, I think it should be [clone clone-abstraction 16] because 
> that's what it is in Pd terminology, right? (A subpatch being [pd subpatch])
> 
> 3. When saving a cloned abstraction that has ben opened through the 
> clone object it closes itself. That probably has a technical reason but 
> for the user experience it is a little annoying.
> 
> But generally I really like the functionality of it. Greatly simplifies 
> some of my patches. I hope my feedback was helpful.
