That's actually a good argument. With IEM GUIs, the argument
list is so <br>
long that it is not really practical to type it out, but with
gatoms <br>
this could be a nice shortcut, for example, to create a float
atom with <br>
send/receive names without opening the properties.<br>

But, I think typing "floatatom" or "symbolatom" (or "listbox")
into an object would be cumbersome at first glance, and we
would need an alias to make it worth. In that sense, their
shortcut is just the way to go.<br>
