hi.
i just submitted a patch against the 0.40-prerelease that adds a new object [initbang], which can be used to trigger a constructor in an abstraction.
this allows to have abstractions with runtime customizable constructors, especially variable inlets/outlets. ([loadbang] is a bit too late for such things, as it only gets called when the parent of an abstraction is already finished (and connections have been abandoned))
i think this is another important step on making abstractions objects of full age.
any thoughts?
what is still missing is the possibility for an abstraction to do something before it is destroyed.
