Yeah, for clarification, there is nothing inherently unique in the
implementation.
I don't mean that it's just a user-wise thing and thus not an
implementation thing. I mean that it's a user-wise thing
therefore you don't have the choice to imitate it using a special
implementation, if you are going to imitate it faithfully.
The $-substitution isn't run on messageboxes when they get instantiated.
That's the difference I'm talking about. This is also the difference that
the new messagebox wouldn't imitate, so the new-style messageboxes
wouldn't need weird hacks in the pd source; but if anyone wanted to
reimplement old-style messageboxes, they'd need to find a way to disable
$-substitution in that case.
