I suggest that the first object to use the name 'owns' the name and any subsequently invented objects use different names.
I think, that's good for external and abstraction libraries (in the repository), but Pd builtins should be free to use any name they want (within reason) and not be forced to scan every available collection of externals or abstractions if a name is taken. That's just not practical, especially not for abstractions (of which I have thousands on my disk, most of them local to a project of course)
This just doesn't sound workable to me. Then you can never rely on an externals or even abstractions, since they might be an incompatible internal that comes along and overrides them. The idea here is to make it possible to use objectclasses that are not included in Pd without having to worry about our patches breaking.
