Hi,
There are few name clashes still remaining in pd. That doesn't bother that
much because usually they're repeated objects. But at least in the case of
scale it's annoying, since gem and maxlib have that, and with very
different functions.
it's possible to use the [maxlib/scale] hack if you're on pd-ext, but not
if you use maxlib.dll, in which you must make sure that one is loaded
before the other (and both simultaneously aren't possible). Wouldn't it be
better to change the names? or is it too late already?

It took a lot of effort to get anything renamed. I think namespaces
are the answer there, it gives each developer their own sandbox that
won't mess up other people's sandboxes. There are too many people to
coordinate, so instead we should structure the software so we don't
have to coordinate.

I use scale and maxlib_scale on a daily basis without problems.

FYI: [maxlib_...] is the alternative naming built into the maxlib objects exactly for this purpose.
