I actually had this thought, but rejected it for being too gross :-D

Also, it does not really work because [aoo_send~ 2] and [aoo_send~ -m 2] 
have a different number of signal inlets, so I would get errors about 
failed connections. (That was another nasty aspect I forgot to mention!) 
Also, the help patch naturally contains other multichannel objects, most 
notably [snake~], which don't exist in older Pd versions. I really need 
to prevent the whole (sub)patch from being loaded.
