I have been waiting (count in years) for the long promised closebang. As for many PD promises, I am tired of waiting... I got work to do!

I will not patch my PD (or use a special version) because I want my patches to be cross-platform and accessible to all users.

"am i correct that your external will be void if [closebang] ever makes
it into pd?"
Yes, if it ever does make it (probably at the same time as the threaded soundfiler). But that is not an issue.
iem_send is voided by PD 0.4, but I still use it, because a lot of people use PD 0.39 extended and I want to share with them.

"As you describe the behaviour of your object IMHO it sounds not very
consistent and would possibly introduce bugs in patches ..."

If used properly (as for inter-patch and not inner-patch stuff) it should not. No using [t a a ] to connect multiple multiple inlets to one outlet will possibly introduce bugs also.

Hallo Thomas!

Is there any problem in just using [closebang] ?
(as e.g. in the patch here
http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-dev@iem.at/msg00174.html, or I don't know
if someone else already made such an external)

As you describe the behaviour of your object IMHO it sounds not very
consistent and would possibly introduce bugs in patches ...
