while i was always opposed to using object names with spaces [1], i
don't think that we should forbid it at all. i would rather have the GUI
side have an idea of what is the object name and what are the arguments
(e.g. "create {list split} {1}" rather than "text list split 1") than to
add arbitrary limitations.
some externals use "proxy objects" for full-fledged non-first inlets,
and those proxies tend to have "hard to type" names as well. how do your
tooltips deal with those?
