[PD-dev] proposed fix for objects named with +,-,*,^, etc.

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So I am able to get objects with +, -, *, and ^ in the name to compile  
as individual files, I was not able to get objects with / in the name  
to work, plus they might cause problems with geiger namespaces (i.e.  
[libname/object]).  But the only problem left is the setup functions.

AFAIK you are not allowed to have setup functions named mtx_+_setup(),  
mtx_-_setup() , etc.  So if pd would translate the symbols to a word,  
like "mtx_plus_setup", like it does for ~, then this whole thing would  
work.

Currently, there is a little workaround for objects with aliases.  If  
you load [mtx_sub], for example, then you can load [mtx_-] since  
[mtx_sub] will generate the symbol "mtx_-", etc.
