[PD] symbolatom: why does it not allow to type spaces?

if the situation with the symbolatom doesn't change i'd like to make  
a workaround where preferably [entry] is used, but if not available  
it will fall back to the symbol atom. is it possible to detect  
somehow if entry is loaded sucessfuly?
