Directory prefixes like [zexy/abs~] kind of solve the problem. The problem is, that nobody likes them. (Though probably Hans does;) E.g. I remember that you were complaining quite loudly when the new pd-extended version didn't preload many libraries and libdirs. But of course preloading libraries makes the [zexy/abs~] approach pointless, except for objects in private or rarely used libraries.
I totally agree with you that preloading unnecessary libraries is a waste of memory.
Actually I wasn't referring to preloading and I don't care about the memory waste (which is minor), but to the "virtual library loading" that pd-extended does with its libdir loading or path settings. IIRC that was, what you and many others were complaing about when it was broken on their systemsa.
Most of the libraries in pd-extended are built as single externals, and for abstraction libraries like list-abs bundles aren't possible anyway.
