gensym() turns a string into a symbol (so pointer equality can be used 
instead of string comparison)

note that there is no way to remove a symbol once it's added to the 
global symbol table.

if you're doing a lot of string processing, perhaps do it all inside a 
pdlua or some other scripting external, instead of passing strings as 
symbols through pd patch cords.
