[createbang] and [destroybang] is a nice pair. :)
yes, but they have 2 drawbacks:
- the seem to be "actors" rather than "reactors"; e.g. i would expect [destroybang] to destroy something, rather than tell me when things are destroyed. (btw, [loadbang] has the same issue)
- they invent different names for things already well established and baptized in the computer science, namely "constructor" and "destructor". this adds confusion for people that already know the concept, and doesn't help people that don't know the concepts yet (and i firmly believe that we shouldn't take patchers for fools - regardless of whether we want to be pedagogical or not)
the main pro is, that the names are shorter.
