I just realized that this is going to be quite useful. I tried in
the past to make a Pd object with a dynamic number of inlets, and
started to make some crazy system where I would start out with 20
outlets, then delete all but the number that were needed.
I'll try it with [initbang] now.
FYI: I added the patch to Pd-extended, so you can try it out on
upcoming auto-builds.

hi.
i just submitted a patch against the 0.40-prerelease that adds a
new object [initbang], which can be used to trigger a constructor
in an abstraction.
this allows to have abstractions with runtime customizable
constructors, especially variable inlets/outlets.
([loadbang] is a bit too late for such things, as it only gets
called when the parent of an abstraction is already finished (and
connections have been abandoned))
i think this is another important step on making abstractions
objects of full age.
any thoughts?
what is still missing is the possibility for an abstraction to do
something before it is destroyed.
