No, it's more space-efficient to use abstractions, it's just 
brain-efficient (which is often more important).

But this has nothing to do with the thing that I know as reentrancy, which 
in pd terms, would be about whether you can send to the hot inlet from a 
chain of actions that eventually came from the same object, and still keep 
the documented behaviour; it's about whether you can make recursion of 
control-flow.
