[PD] store value of any type

If it's just local, the "list" object will do it (floats and symbols are
just one-element lists).

If you want something that (like 'value') can be accessed by name or
pointer elsewhere in the patch, you might want the "text" object (in git
repo, upcoming for version 0.45).  If you're insteested in trying it and
don't want to compile your own write back and I can put out a "test" release -
there's a bunch still to do but it seems to be working OK.

cheers
