We used "!" (an upside down "i" that stands for interface) before instead of "_"

"!" is used by Max to mean "swapped". IMHO that's a better idea than jMax's [inv+] and [inv*] meaning swapped [-] and [/] respectively, but GridFlow still uses jMax's syntax, for the obvious reasons.

but we had to continuously escape it in command lines and scripts. So we settled on "_" instead. Of course, we would have liked to use "#", but Gridflow's use of it is much better :)

I have been using the pmdtl folder namespaces for a year now and have
NEVER had a similar problem. I tried replicating the example in a
practical context, but I cannot. This issue is a theoretical problem
that never happens in a practical context.

No, it's not theoretical, it's just false. There are problems that are similar to that, but knowing pd's implementation, I should've known better. See my mail to Patrice Colet today about this.

Why not put stuff outside of categories? (Does everything have to be in a category?)
Yes, everything does have to be in a category. This constraint makes
for an environment that is especially useful for newbies and resolves
a lot of conflicts.

I teach a lot of Max/Msp and the "new object" box is a godsend for
them ( http://www.makingthings.com/teleo/products/documentation/teleo_user_guide/images/max_tut_1_new.png
). Browsing and selecting the right abstraction for the job is a lot
simpler with this system.

What about http://artengine.ca/desiredata/gallery/completions2.gif ?
