[PD] how to pack symbols together and eliminate the space?

this thread is getting a bit funny and people start to be afraid about
[makesymbol] being deprecated ;-)

as i understand IOhannes, there is nothing wrong with [makesymbol] (nor
with any other proposed solution). i think, he just wanted to point out
that when externals are involved anyway - [makesymbol] from zexy in that
specific case - , one could also use [l2s] - also from zexy - for that
task, which could be considered as more straight forward. i assume, it
was never meant to say, that [makesymbol] will be kicked out from zexy
with growing (>0.40) pd version nor with growing zexy versions (actually
2.1 iirc). 

so, take the solution of your choice:

[makesymbol]: needs zexy
[makefilename]: a bit more complicated (see franks suggestion), but
works only with internals
[l2s]: needs zexy as well
[$1$2(: only internals, but works only with pd >= 0.40

i hope, i could make things a bit clearer now.
