[PD] changeable receive

[Hans Roels]

hello,

 From what I read and tried, it is impossible to change the argument 
of 'receive' (like the right inlet of send) in Pd-vanilla.
Is there a trick to solve this in vanilla?

I want to be able to insert the names of various receives in symbol 
boxes. The only way to do this is by using a slider or number box and 
sending a [receive $1(  to this object. This works but
1. I can only receive numbers from this 'receive' and not lists, 
symbols,... like a normal receive
2. in this way all these GUI are using CPU. Does it help to reduce 
the CPU consumption if I reduce the size of this GUI to the minimum?

I hope somebody has found a hack for this problem?
