initbang is called when your [test] abstraction is finished loading.

loadbang is called when your [test] abstraction's parent is finished 
loading. in the case of dynamic patching, you're supposed to know when 
you're finished "instantiating", and then call "loadbang" by yourself.

If your dynamic patching is incremental, you may use [gf/canvas_loadbang] 
with [gf/canvas_count], to send loadbang only to the new objects (and not 
to those that are supposed to have already received loadbang).
