#X text 35 72 since pd lacks a quoting mechanism (like `foo bar`) there
is;
#X text 36 84 no support for spaces in symbols \, so the original max
way of;
#X text 35 96 using from/tosymbol won't work. One has to construct
symbols;
#X text 34 109 with other tools like;
#X obj 185 113 tosymbol;

#X text 248 109 or;

#X text 275 216 becomes a symbol with spaces;
#X text 200 278 and can be transformed back into a list;

#X msg 90 391 lets place a _ instead of a space inside;
