no, you cannot dynamically change the [delwrite~] name, because
[delwrite~] is the object that actually holds the delay line.
all the [delread~]s and [vd~]s out there will depend on the existence of
a named [delwrite~].

this is much the same as with [catch~]/[throw~] and [send~]/[receive~],
so it follows the same logic: the object that would break everything
when missing, cannot be made missing.

pd does not impose much, but it tends to not allow you to create invalid
dsp-graphs.

if you really want a settable [delwrite~], why don't you just use
something like

[set varname2(

[receive~ varname]
|
[delwrite~ fixedname]

not if you prefer no segfaults.
