Well, if ia user really wants 32K receives of the same name, (s)he can have

32K copies of an abstraction without hitting this problem - and the business
of binding patches to names is only rarely actually used. So (I'm now thinking)
Pd should make it easy to defeat that useless behavior.
So the problem doesn't happen with [s $0-loop]?

What happens to Claude's test if you a) patch Pd to stop binding
pd-abstractionName.pd, and b) put a [receive pd-abstractionName.pd]
inside the abstraction that's getting massively replicated?
I'd hypothesize that you end up with the same or closely similar problem,
no?
If so then messing with the abstraction name binding risks introducing
bugs or breaking some strange but interesting patches, and doesn't
solve the larger problem which becomes anxiety about [s]/[r] pairs or
any other nonlocal connection objects inside abstractions.

There still could be situations where an abstraction has a sub-patch ("pd foo"
for instance) - I'm not clear as to whether those namings should be supressed
as well. It seems like a tricky problem - lots of people seem to use
abstractions with only one instance and might be depending on the bindings.
Maybe the best fix would be to make pd_unbind() constant time (perhaps
by storing bindings in a doubly-linked list instead of a singly-linked
list) and be done with it, instead of hacking workarounds..
