IOhannes, is makesymbol going to be zapped from zexy in the future?
i don't think so (though i would love to...)
is there any particular reason why we shouldn't use makesymbol?
not really, apart from the fact that it really does not do what it claims to do. it _should_ have been a better [makefilename], and it turned out to be a worse one: while [makefilename] at least supports 2 types of formatting (%s and %d), [makesymbol] only allows one (%s). the only good thing about this object is its name....
i suggested [l2s] mainly, because you can also use it to "pack symbols" of a 3 element list, or a 12 element list (which btw, you cannot do with [makesymbol], or an N element list.
