[PD-dev] need to find symbol of current patch (from code)

[Mike Wozniewski]

Okay, so I've found the following function:

  t_canvas *z = canvas_getcurrent();

Now does anyone know how to get the symbol name for that canvas? I need
something like z->s_thing so that I can send a message to the canvas,
but t_canvas has no s_thing member.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
