Title says it all; how can I get the position of a bpatcher within its parent patcher upon loading?

Banging a 'window getsize' message to a thispatcher within the bpatcher doesn't appear to work, and anyway, this would get the patchers location relative to the screen origin, not the parent patcher's,

get-position-of-a-bpatcher-on-load

You can do this with javascript, it looks like you'd need something like the following in a [js] object in the subpatch you have loaded into the [bpatcher]:

function loadbang() {
    loc = this.patcher.box.rect;
    outlet(0,loc[0],loc[1]);
}


If you want to avoid javascript, you can use pattr and the @bindto attribute:
