You can use class_addcreator to associate any symbol you want with
an object creator. Then when the user types that symbol into an object
box, it will call the constructor you supplied as an argument to
class_addcreator.
However, the same request for peer pressure applies here: outside of
the cases where aliases are already entrenched, don't use them. The
small benefit of less typing (or fancy method-sharing) isn't worth the
user-headaches when they fail to instantiate the object.

in the last thread "Name conflicts "class overwritten; old one renamed

names such as "line~" and "cyclone/line~", so you can call these two other
versions instead. Other files in cyclone have alias name like Scope~ can be
called as "scope~".
But I don't get how this works. The thing is, as i was also trying to clarify
in previous threads, I though you could only call and load an alias after I
instantiate the object with the official' name.
So, before being able to call "scope~" I'd have to load it as "Scope~". Or load
it as "Line~" before "line~" and "cyclone/line~". Or everythiing should have
been first loaded as a regular library, then I can call whatever object... I
was believing that was the case, and someone like Roman was pending that way as
well.
but these objects in cyclone prove wrong, there seems to be a way... but it
also sees like some ninja trick with some restrictions, cause I tried renaming
one of the aliases from "line~" to "pizza~" and it didn't work. Does it have to
do with some
can anyone shed some light on?
thanks
