[PD] Dynamic generation of $0-including objects?

[Luke Iannini (pd)]

Hm... I'm not sure if your patch was supposed to "work" or demonstrate
my issue, Chris... thanks for making it regardless : ).

Alexandre, not sure what you're suggesting either since [f $0] would
output the "value" of $0 rather than the actual characters "$0", which
is what I'm after.

Either way,Chris's patch has lead me to the solution, which is:

[symbol $(
|
[makefilename %s0]
|
[;
pd-mySubpatch obj 10 10 myObject $1(


Thanks to both of yas!  Should probably add this to puredata.org or
something for posterity.  Or a bug report since it's obviously a
kludge.
