Yep, spaces are hard to get into symbols... I'm thinking someday about allowing symbols within quotes like "this symbol has 4 spaces" but I think there are more urgent problems for me to face (like latency in Windows).
Yes, I understand. Some more flexible string manipulationn tools would be nice. I would particularly like the ability to concatenate "$1"-type variables with strings. This, or more flexible scoping rules, would make abstractions containing delay lines much easier --- currently, they need an argument for every delay line they contain. Arrays pose an even greater problem.
But I understand that PD is a sound processing tool first, and reliable low latency is much more important for most people.
Thanks, Andrew
