Closely related to this issue, as far as I know it is still not
possible to create certain characters in Pd at all. I forget now whether it
was a backslash, foreslash or maybe colon, but last time I tried using all
manner of ridiculous substitutions and [makefilename] with ascii
character codes, and still couldn't do it.
We really do need a mechanism to move past this.
