Although I'd welcome a good escaping mechanism I seldom *need* to use spaces in messages as excaped spaces. Except for doing text processing (hi, Bryan) I don't really see the need at all, and for text processing I think, Pd is not well suited anyways. Using something like the Python external instead can help a lot.
Still, you need to get the text message to the Python external. Besides that, I find it a bit to have to resort to Python only to get a text message out. I use the [system] object to start shell scripts which are triggered by pd events, and here too, I have to use [makefilename] to build a commandline. It works, but it's ugly.
