[PD] variable receive objects?

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Does anyone have a demo crasher, with iem_receive, [r~], or of any of the iemguis (which of course have settable receives as well)?

It's not immediately apparent how to change a receive symbol while a message is "currently passing through the receive object".  I though Pd was supposed to be deterministic.
