It's sent to the object, not to the objectclass.

It's similar to the "dsp" method in that it's a special method-entry 
registered with A_CANT, but otherwise it's the same : it's registered in 
the objectclass so that it's callable in the object. It's just not 
available from Max itself, as A_CANT means that its input is not a Max 
message.

I don't know anything about Max, but Max's addmess looks the same as Pd's 
class_addmethod, and A_CANT is exactly the same, and so are many other 
things when I browse around in that manual.
