Is that by policy or design?
In other words, if I send a msd [dsp crash_my_pd( to a signal object that defines its dsp method args using A_CANT, will it still crash? (Not at a machine with Pd or I'd try it myself.)

Just to answer one sprcific question here...
Lyon's book explaing what A_GIMME does, but not A_CANT. I checked m_pd.h a bit but didn't make much out of it. It is there where the problem lies?
A_CANT is used when an object receives a message but the arguments can't be safely typechecked by Pd - so these messages are refued if sent by the patch, but friendly C code can call them using a lower-level mechanism.
