The only issue I have with this is the difference between initbang and loadbang. In several patches posted to this list in the past I observed, that sometimes people tended to use initbang where a simple loadbang would be sufficient, i.e. they were doing nothing that would actually require initbang.(*) I assume this is because they actually didn't know or understand the difference.

That's where a loadbang object that somehow combined initbang into it with an argument *may* be preferable. I don't see any reason to combine load- and closebang (or propertybang, but I don't really know that. I assume it will fire when Help->Properties is selected.)

(*) A typical example were abstractions using initbang because their loadbang would not fire after dynamic patching. Here initbang is not the correct solution, but a "loadbang"-message to the dynamic patching canvas.
