the point about that thread was, that if you have an abstraction, and
that abstraction contains a subpatch wherein the [initbang] object
lives, then it won't get triggered.
or put otherwise: the [initbang] object *must* be instantiated on the
top-level of the abstraction.

btw, iemguts in Debian/stretch already has an iemguts that includes a
working [initbang], so there is no need to compile it yourself (if you
are on stretch).
