[PD] distinction Pd lingo: abstraction, subpatch, subwindow

[Max]

OK, let me try myself, please correct me:

An abstraction is a Pd patch which is used like an object in another Pd 
patch.

A subpatch is saved within the main patch and is constructed with [pd 
{name}]. Multiple subpatches with the same name may coexist.

Subwindow is the umbrella term for both of the prior terms.

If someone can confirm that the above definition is true, I will make 
some pull requests to the documentation/ help files since it isn't 
consistent. The pd~-help for example.
