[PD] [initbang] vs [loadbang]

[i go bananas]

That is an awesome hack!  Nice one IOhannes :D

Just did a simple test, and it seems you can just take the basic idea and
wrap that up as an abstraction to use as a replacement for [initbang],
wherever you need it.

Also, i tried using \$0, to avoid the need for the spigot.  PD console
prints an error:  "$0_initbang: no such object", but the bang does actually
seem to be sent.
