since sprintf's "symout" option has been broken in max for many
years (still was so last time I checked), cyclone's sprintf works
only in the `reparsing' mode.  So, a '0.0', being a valid float
rep, is reparsed to a float.  In order to block reparsing, maxers
are left with a workaround of using a tosymbol instread, initiated
by a 'separator' message.  The formatting above should work with
cyclone's tosymbol initiated by 'separator .' and driven by '0 0',
'0 1'... lists.

The same should work with zexy's l2s.  The makesymbol is zexy's
[sprintf symout]-alike, though...
