It's easy enough for me to update LDView's code, but like I said, all current software will stop working. The reality is, from an end-user perspective, patterned parts and assemblies are both still parts.
It could be that LDView is the only program that pays attention to this.
If others disagree, you'll also need Unofficial_ versions of both Pattern and Assembly.
I feel that if this is necessary information, it should be provided in a different way.
Not the type, the type qualifier. Right now we have 3: Alias, Flexible_Section, and Physical_Colour. I'd want to add Pattern and Assembly. For example:
0 !LDRAW_ORG (Unofficial_)Part Pattern or 0 !LDRAW_ORG (Unofficial_)Shortcut Assembly
