This name prefix / wrapper approach seems like an implicit way of what Miller is looking at doing more explicitly via [clone]. Either way, they have also avoided having to update each object directly.
so it seems they did not create new codes and new objects, just adapted, and even made it possible for it to open a special help patch but it's all the same object and you can use this API to generate externals - if I get things correctly...
Also similar to Miller's approach, there appears to be a way to load existing mono externals in the mc mechanism. So yeah, same problem, similar technical solution, different implementation.
I believe this doesn't require any changes in libpd, thankfully.
