I do not see how I could have more than one buffer at the same time if it were declared statically. The data has to be 'findable', so I need some way to name it.
Well, you could do what Pd does, and have a static datastructure pointer, with a list/tree/whatever that you can look through to find values associated with keys. I think this is what the findbyclass stuff does internally, but you'd have to check the source to confirm and see how to use it (it's used in [value] and [table], and others too).
