That's funny... the reason $0 starts at 1000 and not 0 is because in Max the $ variables were printffed into the boxes themselves and I wanted to keep all the $ variables (at least the first 8999 of them) to the same width as a character string.
Ha, then I'm lucky. ;)
Of course probably the actual problem is, that it's hard to check if a certain argument was passed or not using plain Pd. The [select 0]-idiom is just a workaround here. (But as usual with workarounds: they work most of the time.)
