Agreed, there are definatly some parameters that can't/shouldn't be
interpolated.

Not all plugins can be xfaded to produce meaningful results, not to
mention it doubles the cpu use, and you need two instances of the plugin,
with the same state.

The host can't reasonably do the parameter edge filtering, as it doesn't
know what the appropriate scheme is. Sure, you could code up all the
common schemes (and thier parameters) and express them as port metadata,
but that seems uneccesarily complicated.
