I don't know. I can't find the help file for [any2string] so I don't know
how to use it. Maybe I have to look at the source code?

More or less true. There are also functions to output the string as bytes or
symbols.

That's one more character to type ;)
If the web page patch could be done with [any2string] and [list] then sure.
When I did the string stuff I was not aware of any other way of manipulating
arbitrary lists of bytes. Pd tries to interpret anything you type and some
characters don't get through unmangled. Even with the [str] object you have
to specify them by ascii code.
