how important is the portability between pd-extended and pd-vanilla/externals considered? any solution, that involves the [mylib/myclass] scheme creates patches, that are broken on a pd installation with multiclass externals.
at the beginning of this discussion (probably 2002 or so; i have no idea) i posted a diff for Pd that would allow this: using [mylib/myclass] after loading the multiclass-library "mylib" containing the class "myclass".
the patch never got accepted (iirc, the arguing was that nameclashes have to be solved on a social level rather than on a technical one)
and obviously it has the same problems as frank has already mentioned: if the library get's renamed, you cannot access the object anymore.
iirc, there have been more library renames than object-renames in the past.
