But it doesn't give you the name of the patch itself (which could be useful
for auto-naming files associated with the patch, e.g. soundfiles). L2ORk's
patch_name does everything getdir does (optional argument traverses
structure upwards to provide you with info of patches/abstractions above it)
plus gives you the patch name.
So does canvasinfo:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.puredata.devel/11601/match=classinfo

with a bang method that prints all the canvas attributes to the console for 
quick reference.
Way easier for the user since each attribute is a method within a single object,
with a standard interface (and if more attributes are needed it's trivial to 
add them without
breaking anything).  Also easier to develop, as adding another attribute is as 
simple as
adding a method (as opposed to copy/pasting yet another external class, which 
is the
equivalent of copy/pasting subpatches instead of learning to use abstractions 
in Pd).

This has been added to pd-l2ork git...
