Using loading order will have similar problems whether you use the
first loaded or the last loaded. And changing the order of
precedence will have lots of unintended consequences.
Modern programming languages use namespaces (C++, Python, Java,
SmallTalk, etc). Namespaces are a much more appropriate and proven
way to deal with this issue. Its already working in Pd on a basic
level, and most of what's needed for a full-fledged namespace system
is already implemented.

Yes indeed. I'm thinking of automatically having new classes
shadow old ones,
so that anything in Pd could simpy be "externed" over. Not sure of
all the
long-term ramifications, but I like the idea.

and that is the question: why do we necessarily need the fftw
based fft-objects in plain pd and cannot use externals?
so the only drawback is see is: the objects are called [fftw~]
instead of [fft~]; but lo and behold, i vaguely remembered
krzysztof magic in cyclone, where a newly
loaded class raises itself over an already existing class. while
he is using it to overwrite objects from other externals (e.g.
iemmatrix's [matrix~]), i don't see any
reason why this should not work with internals.
et voila, does this not sound good?
sounds good. maybe there should be some official policy on the
overloading of internals?
