-----------------------------------------------------------

please note that the instrumentation not only enables the unpacking of 
parameters via {{.value}}, but:
1. cascade wrapping of parameters. (e.g. 
{{node.outbound_relationships[0].source_node.attributes}} will still be 
instrumented)
2. propagation of changes. (i.e. updating of a subdict/sublist should be 
reflected in the model as well).

> Our model instrumentation code is some of the most complex part of our 
> codebase. It is difficult to understand and maintain.
> Why do we have this complex mechanism? Because we want it to be easier to 
> access values in parameters dicts without having to add {{.value}}.
> In the case of the ctx proxy, there is a much simpler solution. We could just 
> check if the final value is a {{models.Parameter}}, and if so unpack the 
> value from it.
> For uses of ctx within Python there indeed is no simple solution. However, in 
> my opinion the solution we chose is far too complex, and the cons far 
> outweigh the pros.
> In the end, it's really seems not too much to expect a Python programmer to 
> add {{.value}} where necessary.
