[PD-dev] [initbang]/[closebang] routines requested for inclusion in pd vanilla branch..

[dmotd]

hello folks,

it's been a couple of years since IOhannes submitted his patch for 
constructor/destructor routines.. as far as i know only pd-extended has picked 
up the patch. could miller please consider this for inclusion into his stable 
branch? 

without the [initbang] / [closebang] objects, pd is crippled to a static 
application of the abstraction philosophy, making it impossible to dynamically 
create inlets/outlets based on an abstractions arguments. this is really a 
silly limitation that has already been solved and should be put into regular 
practice where ever possible.

while i understand that miller has been hesitant to include such 
functionality, i would prefer it to be an included but undocumented feature 
(much like the role that [namecanvas] presently takes)  than not included at 
all.

anyhow, there's a chance this will fall on deaf ears, but i would just like to 
register my vote for permanent inclusion.

many thanks as always,

dmotd
