What about patches that use # or ? or @ to mean something else already?By treating all character combinations to be valid unless otherwise used, Pd has painted itself in a corner about extending functionality. Anything new breaks some compatibility: you can only hope that a certain combination of characters is not already in use by actual patches, but you can't even know that.
