Do you mean the object should sit there semi-instantiated until you
type in a usable port number, or just fail to instantiate but leave
a message saying why it failed?
Personally, I think it should instantiate, and throw a pd_error()
saying that it can't function without a port number. Another option
for netreceive is to pick a default port number.
But in general, I think an object should instantiate regardless of the
args so you can get help and having it throw findable errors, i.e.
pd_error();
