[PD-dev] bug: numbers create inconsistent symbols

When creating a symbol out of a number, Pd generates different symbols depending on how you do it. This generates a symbol with the contents "7", [symbol 7( :

[55( | [makefilename %c]

This generates a blank symbol, [symbol (:

[symbol 7( |

This also generates a blank symbol, [symbol (:

[bang( | [symbol 7]

This generates a symbol with the contents "float", [symbol float(:

[7( | [symbol]

Only [makefilename %c] seems to do the right thing. See attached patch to try for yourself.
