I don't understand the behaviour in this patch

So the patch starts out with the sub patcher bound to the number box in the parent patch, referenced via its namespace within Bert - ::Bert::Floater as defined by the pattrmarker object.

If I then press the "Ernie" button to rename the pattrmarker, the pattr in the sub patch remains bound to the float box in the parent, despite the fact that it should now be called ::Ernie::Floater

If I check the properties of the pattrmarker box, it has changed its name to Ernie.

??? Very confused. This behaviour is actually really handy for me (developing patches within the PPOOLL framework) but I'd like to understand it and be certain it won't trip me up later.

Is there any decent documentation of pattr and pattrmarker anywhere?

Anything that might describe the effect on existing bindings when changing the name a pattrmarker?

The pattr family is really badly documented in general.
