I was referring to the whole patch, but thinking about it a bit more,
I guess, the second inlet would indeed do no harm and could be handy
sometimes. Basically it does the same as the "addsemi" message to a
message box, but it probably is a bit faster.

The sprinkler-part of the patch is not needed then at all, as you
could just split off the first element of an incoming list and route
it to the second inlet of the new [send].
