That should happen for relative paths, too. [foo/bar]  should add both
"bar" and "foo/bar" as methods in the objectmaker.

Doesn't class_addmethod simply add another method by that name? My
understanding is that such a "bang" abstraction
(or external binary) is guaranteed to be added to the methodspace
*after* the built-in methods and therefore can never
be called (because any potential call will match the built-in "bang"
which has a lower index in the array of methods).
