Also good!

Ah, ok, so you could do:
bat/cat/rat -> 98 97 116 47 99 97 116 47 114 97 116
and then you would run through the number list finding 47 ("/") and re-building
the separate symbols using the reverse operation.
I guess this would be cool because it would also allow you to store proper
strings with all kinds of characters in regular Pd arrays, which might be fun.
Hmmm, also many other things!

After looking at Jonathan's ratio splitting abstraction I think this might
actually be possible with [makefilename] madness, but it's much uglier than
what you propose:
