What about patches that use # or ? or @ to mean something else already?
By treating all character combinations to be valid unless otherwise
used, Pd has painted itself in a corner about extending functionality.
Anything new breaks some compatibility: you can only hope that a certain
combination of characters is not already in use by actual patches, but
you can't even know that.
