[PD-dev] bug: numbers create inconsistent symbols

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

When creating a symbol out of a number, Pd generates different  
symbols depending on how you do it.  This generates a symbol with the  
contents "7", [symbol 7( :

[55(
|
[makefilename %c]

This generates a blank symbol, [symbol (:

[symbol 7(
|

This also generates a blank symbol, [symbol (:

[bang(
|
[symbol 7]

This generates a symbol with the contents "float", [symbol float(:

[7(
|
[symbol]

Only [makefilename %c] seems to do the right thing.  See attached  
patch to try for yourself.
