It would be useful if I could distinguish between slightly different scenarios at load:

A - I'm in an abstraction which is itself inside a saved patch being loaded from disk

B - I'm in an abstraction that is being instantiated in a patch by the user typing the abstraction name in an object box

C - bonus points - I'm in an abstraction that is being instantiated in a patch by scripting (at load or later)

can-i-tell-if-im-in-a-manually-instantiated-abstraction

I'm finding that in scenario B and C I can't find my patcher's parent patcher from a loadbang (needs to be deferred to work), and no parentpatcher is otherwise taken as indicative of being in the top-level patcher, so I was hoping to ignore my loadbang for B and C only.

Can I tell if I'm in a manually-instantiated abstraction?
