[PD] standard encoding of pd files in each system?

[Bryan Jurish]

moin all,

@hans: thanks for the vote of confidence :-)

@João: ... for converting strings (lists of bytes, represented as pd
floats) to floats (as in pd floats, a la C strtof() & friends) you can
do some sick bad ugly and wrong things using [bytes2any] in conjunction
with [locale] (e.g. by dynamically re-setting LC_NUMERIC) ... but maybe
that wasn't what you meant...

marmosets,
	Bryan
