Hi,

I do not think that it is good to write an external that does almost
the same as an already existing external, because this is very
confusing for the user (with or without namespaces).
I also think it is not good to write an external with the same
name as an already existing one but with slightly different
behaviour (with or without namespaces).

The right thing to do in this case would be to propose to extend
list2symbol or concat.

I have started the CVS, and I think the first page
called "Introduction" on http://pure-data.sourceforge.net/
explains the goals pretty well.

Now, almost 4 years after writing this it seems
that we haven't advanced a lot in achieving these goals.

I have removed concat from my directory, so you can upload yours.
