Yeah, I thought about doing that - but ran into trouble because thn really "sybol" should do the opposite but symbol already does something else (perhaps appropriately outputs the symbol "float".)
"Trigger" simlarly already defined.
Horribly, the opposite (float to symbol) is doable using "makefilename".

Hi Miller,

One alternative would be to make the [f] object accept a subset of symbols that look like floats so that a user can do an explicit typecast, printing an error in the event a symbol does not convert cleanly. Would you hypothetically accept a patch that did that?
Patch for this is here, just incase:

Thanks for your consideration. Feedback welcome of course!
Cheers,
Chris.
