I'd like to make a Request for Peer Pressure:
Externals should only use alphanumeric characters and the underscore character.
Exceptions are: classes that should have long ago shipped with Vanilla, classes
to gain compatibility with Max/MSP,
domain-specific operators for a monolithic external library (i.e., one where
you're probably going to load the entire
library rather than individual classes from it), and legacy pd-extended bunk.
So learning about hexloader is good, maintaining zexy/cyclone is good,
documenting problem characters on
various OSes is good, shipping an external with a creator ":)" is bad.

I just confirmed you can't have those characters in a .dll file
So, besides these characters in Windows, what are other forbiden ones in other
operational systems we run pd on?
I have Mac Os and it seems only colon (:) is prohibited (as in windows), or dot
(.) at the beginning of a file.
How about Linux?
cheers
