Not quite: initbang (which is not part of Pd yet) is not designed to replace a
loadbang, it is designed to send a bang *before* a loadbang sends a bang. There
is a difference. Initbangs can create inlets or outlets, loadbangs can not.

There is no need at all to resort to initbangs for "normal" dynamic patching
needs. If a newly created object doesn't loadbang, that's because the creator
forgot to send a "loadbang" message to the subpatch receiver. In nqpoly4
that's by design (a broken design IMO)

Ciao
