I worked on this for a while in 2008. A big part of the problem is that the architecture for first/main inlets is quite different from generic inlets, which do not respond to both signals and messages. [inlet~] does (or at least is supposed to) promote floats to signals, but it won't pass other kinds of messages; and it seemed like too deep a problem to be solved without a pretty serious overhaul. This was a number of years ago and things may have changed since then, but I don't think so (though I'd be glad to be wrong).
