the problem is of course to create those "unique" names.
"context_initbang" could easily nameclash.
UUID could be used, but has other drawbacks

well iirc, you should be able to force-load a library by using it's
"fully" qualified filename.
that is, if you have an object [../context/iemguts/initbang], Pd
wouldn't know how to create that, and start its library loading
mechanism, eventually finding the ../context/iemguts/initbang.pd_linux
file and loading it. doing so will - as a side effect - overwrite the
constructor of "initbang", so any [initbang] instantiated therafter will
be *this* version.
(until Pd encounters an object [../cuntaxt/initbang] overwrite the
constructor for "initbang" again).
i haven't tested how (and if) this works with [declare].
