BTW, the only regression with this is that [select] object complains it does not understand "bang."
Pd's [select] only understands symbol and float messages. If you make it accept bangs then you create an inconsistency where both "symbol bang" and "bang" are matched by [sel bang].

I've patched it so that when it receives a bang it redirects it to sel1_symbol and sel2_symbol with a gensym("bang"). This also means that [sel b] would not work for bangs, but [sel bang] will. I think that makes sense since someone might want to select letter "b."
