[PD] Do [singleton]s get loadbangs?

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to use [singleton] from [sssad] so that I 
can instantiate some lookup tables once and only once for use in 
multiple patches.

The [singleton] help patch is a bit cryptic, but I've so far guessed 
that I can wrap the table-creating object like so: 

[singleton WTAB waveTables]

It appears that the tables are correctly allocated by this, but they are 
not initialized; i.e. the arrays are created, but the code that fills 
them in is not triggered, even though there is a [loadbang] in 
[waveTables] that's supposed to trigger it.

So my question is first, am I even close to using [singleton] 
correctly?  and secondly, do objects created by [singleton] get a loadbang?
