In pd_typedmess of m_class.c, the float handler will currently throw an error if the arg isn't a float atom. However, this could be changed so that if the arg is a symbol-atom Pd sends it through a binbuf "carwash" to check if it comes out as a float. If so, it could send it on its way. If not, it would throw the same error it currently does.
So
[0( | [makefilename %d] | [float $1( | [route float] | [print success]
This wouldn't add any overhead to Pd's current message-dispatching system, as the conversion would only get triggered for symbol-args which currently throw an error.
Good suggestion. In this case, I'd prefer functionality over error.
