the good news is: toggle does what it should (toggle). it is not
cumbered by other functionality (like filtering out non-bangs)

(the bad news is that [tgl] understands far too many messages besides
[bang(, but do not let us bother with that)

so in order to achieve what you want, you just have to make sure, that
the messages you don't want to interfere with toggle don't get to the
object.

there are several message filters that come with pd, the most simple
would be:

|
[route bang]
|
[tg]
|

so all non-bang messages get discarded by the [route] object, and the
tgl can happily react to whatever message comes in.
