if the pd language would have a notion of exceptions, this would make
sense, but otherwise this would contradict with the pd language,
wouldn't it?

of course, several of these structures could be nested like:

|
|t b  b|
|      |
|      |pd suicide|
|
|pd suicide2|

providing several interpreter states at the same logical time.

which of course only provides one interpreter state per logical time,
but of course, it's a workaround, that should work fine ...
