It's possible you saw the pattern in an abstraction library where this issue doesn't come up.

but I didn't. And it's also a pattern outside Pd (like in Max, for instance)

Your preference complicates the source code for no significant usability gain.

I guess that's debatable and a matter of personal preference, and I hope we don't fall into that debate.

But thanks for your considerations, they're appreciated.

cheers
