I like the idea of this behaviour being defined by the class author, but (re)configurable by the user.
Sounds like an interesting idea, its something more like how vvvv works. For me, I make sense of vvvv by thinking of it as Pd with only tilde objects, no message objects.
He doesn't mean to have everything work like the DSP. In that case there wouldn't be hot inlets nor cold inlets and so you wouldn't need them to be reconfigurable. He's talking about making them configurable.
If you make everything work like the DSP (that is, one message per block, or one message per sample, whichever), then there are quite a few things you can't do anymore or have to do in different ways: can't avoid sending a message during a tick, and can't send more than one message during a tick, and can't recurse in any way, even to a cold inlet (you can't sum the values in a signal using just [+~] connected to itself...).
