To conclude my request for a new and imporved makefilename/strcat type object, I think it be useful if it'd look something like:

concat "I like %s %d times a week"

where there'd be an inlet mapped to each variable to be substituted in the string.

Naturally there's no need to require providing anything other then the variable types to be concatenated. e.g.

concat "%s %s"

This would provide a mechanism for dynamically creating text, which could be output as part of a performance and simultaneously used to control other processes. I'm just thinking out loud (or whatever the email equivalent is). Any ideas?

Ben,
