Hi pd´ers !
Is there a possibility to convert a message to a symbol ? I was able to do it through adding a symbol_anything method to the symbol object, which just converts every message except bang to a symbol, but maybe there´s another way to do it without hacking the sources ?

Not really, the objects handle symbols and messages differently. Normally messages are always "executed" (in the first inlet), while symbols represent another data type (besides float, e.g.)
