Whoa, that's not very straightforward, so something like this:

   t_canvas *canvas = (t_canvas*)glist_getcanvas(glist);
   t_atom *ap = binbuf_getvec(canvas->gl_obj.te_binbuf);
   t_symbol *s = atom_getsymbol(ap);

It would be nice to have this as a function in the API, or built into  
the savefn mechanism.
