yes, that's where the concepts of my [canvas] and your [meta] start to differ. probably my assumption that they are equivalent was wrong: [meta] aims to interface the class, while [canvas] should interface the instance.
they probably got confused, because in pd you usually modify the class via an instance: you create an abstraction (== instance of the class) and modify it and save it; only then the class will be changed.
[meta] (or rather your replacement) would act on all instances of a class simultaneously. i fear that this is very different from how pd usually deals with such things (which does not necessarily mean that it is worse)
