Also there's not really a technical advantage of that undocumented feature 
over using a very big message box that gets loadbang; e.g.:

junk patate poil;
junk quick brown fox;
junk lazy dog;
junk 42;

vs

#X obj 0 0 loadbang;
#X obj 0 20 msg
   patate poil \,
   quick brown fox \,
   lazy dog \,
   42;
#X obj 0 100 s junk;
#X connect 0 0 1 0;
#X connect 1 0 2 0;
