there are three different cases:
1. removing it, but with a big number of needed parameters, it could be
bad for performance to get them with the method ->parameter()
2. keeping it and get only those that are 'variable safe', but in this
case also, with a big number of un-needed parameters, this is not really
performant when getting only the object (mgd_get_object())
3. create a new function that would fetch all the parameters (or all the
parameters in a domain) in an associative array on-demand.
The third solution is feasible now with the $midgard->types["object"] as
the first parameter of a generic function:
mgd_get_parameters($midgard->types["article"], $id [, $domain]);
or even:
mgd_get_parameters($midgard->types[$obj->__table__], $obj->id [, $domain]);
