in the discussion about that on the list some months ago - hard to  
believe - some people insisted that escaping etc. is not needed. My  
opinion is the opposite.

I believe it's quite some work to include these features, alongside  
with problems coming from the PD-TCL communication ( see the open bug  
report  
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=1359216&group_id=55736&atid=478070 ).
For me personally this is not a problem, because i rely on the devel  
branch where DesireData will take these things into account.

best greetings,
Thomas
