Summary: [value] and [send]/[receive] share the same name
Initial Comment:
[value] and [s] don't like if they are used with the
same name.
e.g. the following will output "[value]: no method for
bang"
[bang(

[s bla]
[value bla]

Message:
[send]/[receive] and [send~]/[receive~] _can_ live side by side, but can
also expose side-effects.
e.g. [receive~ foo] will receive data from [send~ foo] (and not care about
[send foo], as long as a signal is actually connected to the [send~ foo].
if no signal is connected to [send~ foo], then [receive~ foo] will receive
the values from [send foo].
see attached patch sendnames.pd

and just to cover more cases:
it's perfectly allowed to use the same name for [catch~]/[throw~] and
[send~]/[receive~].

To me it's normal that [r] and [value] share the same
symbol-table using exactly the same field (s_thing).
Why should it be different?
