It would be great to have people start using this string/blob functionality, but it needs to be changed so that it'll work without patching Pd itself. IOhannes outlined this idea, and we talked about it briefly in the past.
How do you get [print] to print a peachy string?
in the way we (including miller) kind of agreed at LAC2008 the answer is simple: you don't.
my initial idea of having a "type registry" (which was turned down as it seemed to be too complicated for the "minor" (not so many devs would probably use it anyway) feature of adding more types) would have added a callback for the use in atom_getstring()
