At first I thought: No way, you'd need at least [list2symbol] for that, which is impossible to build with just internal objects. Then I said to myself: Hm, maybe it's not impossible? Then I said down and it wasn't even that hard to do a [list2symbol] clone using just builtins: list-2s.pd is attached. Oops, there goes another external previously used in RRADical ... ;)
That's great! I've started a project I call "PurePd". Whenever I get
inspired, I write a Pd patch that is a clone of a useful external. I
just added it to abstractions/purepd and the build system. It would be
great if you could contribute this patch as [list2symbol] and anything
else that you can think of. I have a Max-style [counter], [speedlim],
and even a [metro] in the works.
I already added it to the [list]-abs renamed to "list-l2s", because maybe there will be a "list-s2l" later, too. Although I currently think: No way to do this without externals, but who knows ... ;)
I think, in this case it feel natural to put it in [list]-abs, as it is dealing with [list] and is technically very similar to the other list abstractions I did.
I'm not really convinced that the PurePd objects should carry the same name as the externals they replace. I see, that these makes them instant replacements, however some externals like the infamous [counter] and [scale] are already in name-clash with differing functionality, and to add another version then doesn't seem right. I'd tend to prefer a prefix-namespace for such stuff, like I did for list-abs and also in rrad.ical (which has a rrad.scale.pd for example).
I like the sound of something like [pure.scale], which is attached (though still missing the log. scaling...)
Ciao
