[PD-dev] string support and generic types

Hey,

IOhannes and Miller worked out a solution for declaring generic types, it didn't sound to hard to implement. For the next Pd- extended release, I think we'll probably should remove the Martin's string patch in favor of this approach.

I want to include the string support, but I think it is important that it is included in a way that will remain useful when things are changed to support this generic atom registry. It should also be backwards compatible, and I don't have a clear idea of whether it is.
