Different names are a good idea, for sure. But Pd should also not go down in flames if someone happens to create an object with a name that is already used somewhere. Its not possible to know every single object that has ever been made.
I just ran into this myself trying to create an abstraction called "beat". Apparently, there is already a [beat], so I got unexpected results.
Maybe a [which] object could help. Banging a [which pow~] would output the path to the pow~ that pd was using. Inputting a path would tell pd to use that one.
