This does seem possible. The OS is very light with just a couple of system

Liam,
Choosing a unique name for an external is indeed the best warranty to avoid
conflicts. Not only a future release of a dependency has the potential to break
all, given the warning in the help

the object name.

you will generate unique numbers (1, 2, 3...) for each instance, according to

they're there for a reason, but there are some legitimate uses of certain
