This is unlikely to work as well as you'd like -- if your patch is inside a 
macro, it'll just publish ports to the macro's level, and a host application 
will not see them.  You might be better off with a structure input, if possible 
-- that will allow arbitrary arrays/dictionaries of data to get piped in 
without needing individual ports (that won't work so well with the parameters 
controllers, sadly, but you could isolate the port you're interested in, and 
make a custom control for it on the application's side -- tedious, but better 
than nothing).

I know your user/use-case is rather technical and special, so the need for 
generic "works in all kinds of bizarre ways" reasons sound lame and useless.  
However, designing new parts must take such things into consideration (for 
better or worse), otherwise it just gets confusing for everyone.

Don't worry about the classification, we'll be able to re-class it as 
necessary.  Thanks much for filing the bug/feature request!
