When inlets are called "hot" and "cold", it's always because there is only 
one thing you can call the run-action in an ordinary object: the thing 
that is done by sending a value in the first inlet, and the thing that is 
not done by the "set" method of the first inlet, nor by sending a value in 
any other inlet.

But if any other inlet could be hot, then there would be a need to have a 
"set" method anywhere. And then "bang" and "set" are considered as lists 
by [list].

I wonder whether anything can be done to improve Pd about it without 
opening a can of worms or two.
