Polybuffer and Gen compatibility

Hi there, I'm trying to access buffers created with polybuffer in gen~.

as you can see from the example patch bellow gen won't compile when a buffer is given the name "buffername.N".
It looks like gen~ doesn't like buffer names given with this syntax.
Is there a way to allow this syntax to be used in gen? Or is there a way to change the syntax polybuffer uses to name it's created buffers?

The buffer-and-data tab of the gen~ help file shows how to change buffer references.

Aha! that seems to work very well, this functionality also simplifies my patching quite a lot.
Should have been my first port of call really.
Thanks.
