You may have overlooked String.interpret? I use this in my code: I
have a GUI where I can edit the synth graph code in a document window
and have it automatically update a NodeProxy, just like this:

comp = str.interpret;
if(comp.isNil.not, {
	// push comp to the NodeProxy
});

If str doesn't compile, an error msg goes to the post window (IIRC)
but program flow continues with the result being nil, hence the
if-statement.
