And as such it would be very cool if there was something like $0 which gave you a consistent value between saves/loads and shutdowns of Pd. It would help with datastructures based saving too, and would do away with the entire need to name every single abstraction on your canvas just because you want to be able to save them.
Thats a good idea.
One could generate the ID automatically based on the name of the abstraction, its position (relative to the other abstraction with the same name) and the ID of the parent patch.
This way it might be possible to come up with unique ID's without having to name your abstractions individually.
e.g
MAIN1/abs4/subabs3
would be the 3rd abstraction "subabs" (ordered with increasing x then y) in the 4th abstraction "abs" in the main patch "MAIN".
