how to pack the strings into symbols
gensym() turns a string into a symbol (so pointer equality can be used instead of string comparison)
note that there is no way to remove a symbol once it's added to the global symbol table.
if you're doing a lot of string processing, perhaps do it all inside a pdlua or some other scripting external, instead of passing strings as symbols through pd patch cords.
