Hallo!
of course this (like [l2s]) will polute the symbol-hash and (what is more important) will add a memory-leak (as symbols that once appear in a pd-sessions will stay there forever)
yes ... :(
so a string-type would really be nice.
anyway, would it make much sense, if we use lists for that? e.g.
[list this is a long text over more lines( | [maxchar 10] (or a more meaningful name ...) | [list this is a \n long text \n over more \n lines( | [text2d]
