so you cannot use [initbang] to initialize the parent patch. darn, bad naming again. probably [createbang] would be better (esp. if [closebang] is renamed to [destroybang]) or use [constructorbang] and [destructorbang]
[createbang] and [destroybang] is a nice pair. :)

But then we'd need [evolvebang] and [extinctbang] ...
