Ok, I understand.
Then what should I call it?
"freesend" or "destroysend" or "destructorsend"
or
"free_send" or "destroy_send" or "destructor_send"

This is not an issue with this external as it is made to annonce to another patch that the current patch is being deleted.

It shouldn't be called "close" because [closebang] is made to be banged
just before deleting objects in the patch, just like [initbang] and
[loadbang] are made to be banged after actual creation. [closemsg] gets
triggered too late for that. On top of this, it gets triggered in the
middle of deleting a patch, which means you can't rely on the patch being
complete and you can't rely on the patch being empty either.
