Well, I'm persuadable on this front.  I'm concerned with unduly hogging

I don't even have a list yet (no pun intended)

Perhaps it would be better to refactor the object / abstraction / binary / loading / namespace mechanism first, something along the lines of an old discussion I had with HCS:

http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/cm/2010-07-16_pure-data_libraries_conversation.html

Once that is fixed to something less baroque/crufty then it should be easier for everyone to go nuts and have their own namespaces without clobbering or hogging anything, and make patches more portable between Pd variants.

I have no time to work on this for the forseeable future, but it's something that needs doing sooner rather than later...
