And a [triangle~] may be used as a ping-pong looping [phasor~]. 

The objects Pd provides are building blocks - they generally are designed on a
level that allows and encourages multiple uses. A square wave going from 0 to 1
can be used as a logical signal that switches another signal on and off. In
fact, a trivial square or saw without bandlimit should generally not be used as
an "oscillator" in the analog synth sense - it should be bandlimited first, and
while you do that you may as well make them have a DC of 0.  (Bandlimiting
triangle waves is not *that* urgent, as corners don't add so many alias
components.)
