I agree with Mathieu.

Maybe one doesn't meet (or even need) those symbols *a lot*, but that would 
only imply that is not a *big* issue, not that it is not a *real* one.

Also, it should be up to the programmer/user (I mean the PD user) to choose 
whether s/he needs or not to use them.

If there are things that PD can load from a patch but cannot save, I think 
that is an issue that should be corrected.
