Similarly with encapsulation, I am still thinking that being able to encapsulate a selected group of objects into a pd object while preserving the connections would be great. From there, it's not too difficult to create an abstraction either.
I really like that justification of 'decoupling' the iemGUI, Hans. That's EXACTLY why it's a good idea.

From what I gather you are looking for, a libdir is almost ready for that. AFAIK, the only missing piece is a mechanism to open a libdir like a patch. I think this could be done in the mybundle-meta.pd file. If Pd loaded that file when it opens a libdir, then you could add a tiny bit of code into it to load any other patch you might want. Something like:
[loadbang] | [; pd open mypatch.pd(
Actually I think opening isn't such a problem, saving as bundle however is. If I have lots of abstractions in different (lib)dirs, then currently I'd need to search then by hand.
I am a big fan of the way that you have done it, Frank, using only existing objects. I think to make the whole thing complete, there should be a set of GOP GUI objects with your state saving stuff inside. Then people just use those GOP objects if they want state- saving.
Chris McCormick's collection has some of these. (I also have but they aren't published yet because I'm lazy...)
