It was also never documented as an 'argument'. I understand there's an internal logical reason, but under a user perspective, we are never aware of it and really expect to be able to use it inside message boxes so they can communicate to local [receive] objects. Another compelling reason is that Pd-L2ork and Purr Data allow this in their syntax and it would be beneficial to backport this to improve compatibility between patches. > Also, it really has a different purpose.

It's all a matter of documenting. Actually, now that I am more explicitly documenting "$0" in Pd, it's all just way more complicated to document that you can't use "$0" in messages as you'd expect. So it's like we're documenting unexpected behaviour now instead of otherwise. But I'll stop now :-) > :(
