$0-foo works for send and receive, but how do I get it into a qlist?

I tried having a message "symbol $0-foo", but it comes out "0-foo".

I looked at the qlist source code and found that it had been released under a different, csound-style license. I am very disappointed.

P.S. The template stuff (template, pointer, plot, etc.) looks very interesting, but it crashes Pd frequently. I can post some reproduceable problems if anyone is interested. I know it is all still "UNTESTED", and probably largely unfinished, but bug reports are here if anyone wants them.
