It sounds like a good idea but I really don't understand how it can work. I would code it but I don't know what to code :( It seems to me that if a type is unknown to Pd it will not be processed. Last time it took me about two weeks to get the string patch to work, and I don't seem to have that kind of time any more, so maybe IOhannes, who knows how to do it, could give it a go?
