if i understand right, what you want to do, implementing such a test
mechanism is very easy. put this somewhere into your abstraction:

[r isitthere]
|
[s yesitsthere]

then you can easily check, if the library abs is open by sending a bang
to [s isitthere]. when you receive a bang on [r yesitisthere], your
abstraction is obviously open :-)
