actually, i have yet to come across a *single* external that uses
(t_symbol) rather than (t_symbol*) - or, if you insist on arrays
(t_symbol[]) rather than (t_symbol*[]).

i don't see how this breaks binary compatibility - unless of course you
*use* these members¹...

¹ that is, pass them around, in a "dosomething(s->foo)" sort of way (and
i don't know how to do this with an overloaded operator).
since the additional members are actually methods with an implementation
in the header file, i guess that any compiler would just inline them
when it comes to using them (in an "s->foo(z)" sort of way), rather than
forcing a resolving via dynamic lookup.
