[vline~] is special, as it allows to use messages with higher granularity then the dsp-tick, but it is special and most other objects are not.
Philosopher mode on:
I wonder, which other objects would also benefit from becoming "special" in the way, vline~ is special. A possible model could be t3-lib, but for example the t3_bang object already is there in the form of the normal bang message, when its origin is a clock-derived message (as sent by metro etc.). So we don't need a "special" bang object. t3_bpe is the same as vline~ basically, t3_sig~ too, t3_metro, t3_del and t3_timer are the same as metro, del and timer now.
Normal signal objects also don't need to become "special", if they have signal inlets, as one could use a vline~ to feed them with sub-sample exact signals.
One thing, where "specialness" would be useful is the non-signal inlets of objects like phasor~ or osc~ which set the phase. It would be great, if these either were signal inlets as well or if they would accept messages formatted like vline~-messages (with delay numbers at the end.) vline~-like-messages could be implemented without breaking compatibility with old patches, I guess.
