however, i think that "$0" is a bad name. i would have liked it better if $0 was the selector (in messages) and the classname (in abstractions). probably "$$" would have been better for a uniq id (well, i know that this is a bashism (its the process-id in bash), but that is not necessarily bad)
forgot to add that these are just thoughts that will never (probability=99.9%) be implemented in pd, since the names have been there for quite some times, and this change would break an awful lot of patches. it's a pity.
but i would still like to have the possibilities to get the selector of a message (as a symbol) and to get the classname of an abstraction.
of course we could just use "$$" for *that* (but it would be no bashism any more)
