BUGS:
- Do not use a loadbang to set a patch-default value. Will cause a segfault.
  The left outlet will send a "bang" message when we're ready to set values,
  see example patch on how to use this to set a default value. Unfortunatly 
  this bang message is actually set on un-minimization and un-shading as 
  well as on load.

Have Fun.
