well, i'm not a big fan of extending the pd syntax!
Plain extending of syntax is just the same as extending the behaviour of anything else in Pd.
this would result an incompatibility from one pd interpreter to another one...
I'm talking about 99% backwards compatibility, the difference being mostly that all doublequotes will have to be backslashed in order to keep their old meaning.
reimplement a whole dataflow language from scratch, rather than using the pd codebase for that... it's just not suited for that ... ... maybe a topic for my bachelor thesis, once i started to study again ...
I'll convince you otherwise.
