But the examples have a declare object loading iem_ambi and other
libs. Isn't that equivalent?

I suspect pd is far too conservative in library loading. What is the
rationale for not loading everything in $extralibdir on startup?

I'd rather we fix this by default instead of having to add multiple
-lib options to the command line of pd invocations.
