I think backslashes and curly brackets are dropped - plus, of course, there's no way to deal with character sets. This is intimately mixed up with another long-standing need to simplify the way stuff gets sent to the GUI - preferably in a way that would allow plugging totally non-TK GUIs in front if/when the oportunity or necessity comes. So this will be a major re-code, probably warranting its own release number.

Closely related to this issue, as far as I know it is still not possible to create certain characters in Pd at all. I forget now whether it was a backslash, foreslash or maybe colon, but last time I tried using all manner of ridiculous substitutions and [makefilename] with ascii character codes, and still couldn't do it.
We really do need a mechanism to move past this.

I know this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to throw this
question out there again: why doesn't Pd have a quoting mechanism? I
think Max uses regular "" double quotes and I haven't heard too many
complaints. What are the pitfalls or hangups? Perhaps its related to
Pd not having an escape mechanism.Is it just a matter of someone implementing it, or is there something
else?.hc
