[PD] multiple instances of a patch forbidden in 0.49, why?

I can imagine it being it a GUI preference. maybe there could be a dialog asking you if you really want to open the same patch again with the usual 'yes', 'no' + 'don't ask me again' (saving your selection in the GUI preferences).

OTOH, I kind of agree with the others that I never thought it was a problem that you can open the same patch several times... if it's just for test tone patch, this could be solved in other ways.
