I don't know Pd's internals nearly as good as you, but still it seems
to me, that suicides in the middle of a logical step have pitfalls. As
Thomas wrote, a suicidal object should not generate further messages.
However this suicidal object may already have scheduled further
messages. What happens to other branches after the suicidal object,
e.g.:

          [r y]
          |
 [symbol x]
 |
 [t a b]
 |     |
 |     [s kill-symbol-x]
 |
 [s y]

Should execution go on to the [s y]? Again with an inserted explicit
[delay] it is much easier to follow the logic flow and understand
what's going on (and what's maybe going wrong).

Ciao
