yes, sure.
Your last e-mail indicated otherwise. You showed how you can't open
"mypatch.pd" as "mypatch", but this was not what Mario was asking.
but what's the point of this discussion?
I just answered a question and you said my answer was wrong.
how is being able to open a file with an arbitrary name (including
arbitrary extensions) related to passing args to Pd?
I've never claimed it was.
it seems that all ideas just fail the
"foolproof test".
True.
On the other hand, let's look at this:
pd "mypatch.pd 1 2 3"
What if we simply treat ".pd " as the delimiter? How many people
realistically have this character sequence in a directory name? I know
it's not 100% foolproof, but maybe it's good enough... Just sayin'

Just to be clear: we're talking about opening a patch file that does not
have the .pd extension, e.g. "mypatch.txt" or simply "mypatch". This
certainly works (at least here on Windows.)
yes, sure. that's what i wrote in my other mail.

i think the much more relevant question in the context of the collapsed
filename+args opening ("pd -open 'foo.pd: 12'") is, whether we can load
patches with spaces in them.
and the answer is of course: yes we can.
so what do i get in this case?:
```
$ ls -1
'foo 42'
foo.pd
'foo.pd: 12'
$ pd -open "foo.pd: 12"
```
while it may seem to be super-elegant to cram as much info into the
shortest possible cmdline, it seems that all ideas just fail the
"foolproof test".
the only character that is forbidden on all systems is "/".
we probably don't want to use *that* tough.
so maybe we should concentrate on other ideas to pass arguments per patch.
