[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2766 Version: 1.3-feature I think this would be good for those starting to use fltk or those who don't use 3rd party fltk libraries. For those just starting, they can use the macros easily and those wanting to covert can do so easily as well. For example things that used to be "some text @-> more txt" can be converted by "some text " FL_SYMBOL_CHAR "-> more text" (easy) where as you couldn't do "some text " Fl::symbol_str("->") " more text" (gonna be work). Also, the macros could always be converted to fit any future solution that could work out how to return symbol strings in static buffers (or whatever other solution that could be used). I'd hate to see it not used and 1, 2 or more years from now there was no solution added. For those creating 3rd party libraries where they only want to provide one version, a single variable could be setup to contain the symbol char that they could use to build up their custom strings internally. While I agree keeping it all in variables and assignable would be great (which was my fist thought as well and what I've done for all the other optional items), there may be too many issues for it to be practical. However, I do think a variable should be added for those 3rd party library providers.
