The idea with [declare] is similar to Python "import".

We have moved away from Pd-extended's "just load everything into the same name 
space" approach towards a more explicit declaration for paths and libs. This 
requires an extra step but it also *helps* make patches more portable in that 
it is much clearer to see what libraries the original author specifies as 
opposed to "oh I guess it worked in Pd-extedend but I have no idea what 
externals those objects come from."
