Mario, Jeremy, thanks.

Ref the above discussions here, how costly is this operation? I.e that of 
fetching a value via transclusion rather than on spot. I don't know the 
mechanics behind transclusion per se but I figure fetching values 
"elsewhere" is done all the time and should be pretty polished.

Yeah.. that would be a concern.  (Interesting thoughts just sparked; 
imagine making every parameter value be a pointer to a central registry. 
OR, another idea, or maybe it's a continuation; imagine another "viewing 
layer" in edit-mode so that the parameter value is really a parsed value 
but underneath it is the transclusion. Or mayb eno "extra layer" would be 
needed if one could just see the parsed values in normal view mode. Ok, I 
gotto sleep. Forgive me if this didn't make sense.)


Thank you both for informative replies!
