Part of the idea of a libdir is to also include examples. Currently, this is done using an 'examples' subfolder. The problem with that is the example patches won't automatically find the objects from the libdir that they are embedded in. So I'm wondering what the best way to handle this is. Here are a couple ideas:

• require [declare -path ..] for all example patches (works on any

branch of Pd)

• instead of 'examples' folder, use mypatch-example.pd in the main dir

of the libdir (works without extra tricks)

• use [import mylib] for all example patches (works even when the

example patch is saved elsewhere)

• use [declare -stdpath extra/mylib] for all example patches (works on

any branch of Pd and works even when the example patch is saved elsewhere)

I think, this doesn't work if "mylib" isn't installed or isn't installed in "extra".
