What are the conceptual reasons?
I don't know actually. I somehow thought, that the missing ability to set the receive symbol in [r ] was intentional. And since I never saw an urgent need for it, I never questioned my somewhat silly assumption. However, it seems now this feature hasn't been added simply because of the bug it would expose.
Regarding your use case: I would do it like Cyrille proposed it in the previous mail. Now, would that solve your problem or am I still totally misunderstanding you? (Sorry if I do)
See my reply to him. It would solve my problem in the same way the hack to get args in Pd vanilla solves the arg-getting problem. That is to say, it requires more work from the user and is really only a partial solution.
