The only documentation is from 1993. You can find it on CTAN. Or here:

  http://tex.loria.fr/graph-pack/pstricks/pst-usr3.pdf

I didn't study the details of your new implementation, but it looks
very promising. When you give options like `a=b', 
can a and b be defined as macros beforehand, or is that incompatible?
That's one of the problems I had in metaobj, hence my contrived
way of passing parameters. 

I am thinking that it would be nice if sometime in the future
we could have metaobj with your syntax for options. On the other hand,
if one uses a metapost package within context, the syntax doesn't
have so many constraints, because you can hide it with TeX's syntax.
That's also why I found the metaobj syntax sufficient for my purpose
