Basically, it's really rare among popular programming languages to get
away with not having some kind of escape mechanism or else something
nearly equivalent to an escape mechanism which isn't taking much more room
than a plain string.
In Pd, your only way to handle this without editing .pd files in a text
editor, is to use multiple objects just for constructing the string... and
before Pd 0.40 it also required externals.
