[PD-dev] loadbang order

[Miller Puckette]

Loadbangs are "depth first", i.e., loadbangs in abstractions (and subpatches
in general) go off before loadbangs in the parent.  This is so that abstactions
can initialize themselves before receiving messages coming from other
loadbangs.

Two loadbangs in the same canvas (window), or in canvases neither of which is 
a parent of the other, might go off in either order.
