"makesymbol" is something between "symbol" and "makefilename", 
   thus storing and creating (formatted) symbols...


   TODO:
    the use of only "%s" is really not very satisfying   
   LATER: 
   split the entire format string into subformats with only 
   one format-placeholder ("%[^%]*[diufFgGxXoscpn]") .
   split the entire format string into subformats with only one format-placeholder,
   store the types
   when a list comes in, evaluate each subformat (with prior type-conversion)
