i think it is less question of "good programming practice" but of (not)
breaking functionality.
if you introduce some clock delay, then the object make break the
expected order of execution.
- how does it work in "-nogui" mode?
- how does it work in "-noloadbang" mode?
- how does it work if the object is hidden in a sub-patch/abstraction?
- how does it relate to other [loadbang]s?
- how does it relate to other nested [loadbang]s?
- how does it work with other [delay]ed [loadbang]s?

using [delay] to ensure a certain order of execution can often lead to
subtle problems.
i wonder whether the feature of being able to suppress the bang via a
pressed key during load time is worth the potential problems it makes.
