What exactly would "this" (#4) look like in Pd?

  1. Everything is global

The use of the $0- prefix for receive-symbols ([r]) and variables ([v]).

It's a hack. I made a similar hack for making OOP in Tcl, but at least, Tcl allows me a simple, natural syntax for introducing my own procedure definition procedure, which allows me to implement macros so that _($this:stuff) is written @stuff.

That was with Tcl 8.4 ; In Tcl 8.6 there's finally a built-in object system, but I don't really remember what it looks like (I looked at it a bit in 2007, back when it was planned for Tcl 8.5).
