before i change my policy about using externals in netpd, i would like to ask (probably miller?), if there is a chance, that symbolatom is changed accordingly in the future?
When I asked about spaces in symbols on the pd-dev list Miller's reply was: "1. spaces in symbols are a parsing/formatting problem, not a data type problem." So that would indicate that he sees it as a problem that must be fixed. Be good if someone could submit a nice clean patch to fix the parsing problem and see if he accepts it.
Another similar reply to the issue of symbol table saturation was "2. use arrays as strings as I proposed;" which isn't currently possible in your use-case because the symbol input box itself won't let you input spaces to even get them into an array.
