You said you wanted to detect, not split. Replacing a character by a space
does not split a symbol in several elements (but it does if you know how
to take advantage of pd's traditional bugs). Otherwise use [s2l] or [l2s].

If it's for non-pd users, you should limit yourself to non-pd objects. I
mean, if they end up using your patch, they will be some kind of pd user,
albeit one that we don't see so often so far.
