A programming language is a lot about being consistent, and as such it seems
logical that a msg should retain its last known state, so that when receiving a
bang it would output its last stored values. msg certainly stores the remainder
of a non $arg list (if any) and even saves it with the patch, so I would argue
that it very much has a kind of "memory" that can be altered with [set{.
