Indeed. Ha!

how about, looking up the definition of t_symbol in m_pd.h?
   typedef struct _symbol
   {
     char *s_name;
     struct _class **s_thing;
     struct _symbol *s_next;
   } t_symbol;

so the *only* proper way to access the string within a symbol is by
dereferencing the s_name member.

   post("%s", s->s_name);

Makes perfect sense. Thank you, IO.
