Also, there is another thing that looks like a bug, but is about something
undocumented. [makefilename] without an argument seems like it was
intended to do [makefilename file.%d], but there's this same missing star:
if (!s->s_name) s = gensym("file.%d");
vs
if (!*s->s_name) s = gensym("file.%d");
Because Pd uses &s_ as default value for a symbol arg, not a null pointer,
so s->s_name is never considered "false"... same bug, really.
I don't really care about that one, nor that anyone would want to use that
default value, and the line could also be removed altogether, and it would
be as fine, as removing a useless line is good, and removing a misleading
useless line is even better.
