IMO this step should wait until we have the equivalent to Python's "from pdcore import *" or C++'s "using namespace std"
sorry for some 'implementation details', but this is not as trivial as it would be in a script language.
It's not that trivial in a "script" language
It's exactly as difficult in a "script" languages as in pd. (pd isn't
as special as we may believe it is)
well, it is in one term ... scripting languages are written in a text file, that's parsed from the top to the bottom. _this_ is absolutely the same as with pd ... the difference is, pd patches are not written in a text editor (at least, this is the usual case, i know, it's possible) and the parsing order is not transparent to the user ...
unlike other interpreted languages, changes to the patch are done immediately, i.e. after changing something in the patch, there is no need to reload the patch file (compared with python's 'reload' or recompiling with a langugage like c/c++).
what makes you think, that this is similar in text-based languages?
