According to [namecanvas] help, this object is obsolete? How else can one send a message to one and only one abstraction without using namecanvas? Is there the concept of 'this'?
"iemguts" kind of introduces a concept of "this". most of the objects work on either "this" or "parent of this" or some other "direct ancestor of this".
otoh, pd itself never actively supported dynamic patching.
iirc, the reason for obsoleting [namecanvas] is that it allows the dynamic patching engine to get into an inconsistent (probably crashing) state (true, there are other things that allow this as well, without getting obsoleted).
anyhow, [namecanvas] has no concept of "this" either.
