I'm thinking of using this technique as a way to input events to my 
midifile writer, which I will code as soon as I can get some time 
(unless somebody else does it first...). The ideal would be to have 
midifile work the same way as qlist, with only the internal encoding of 
the data being different, the advantage being that other sequencers 
besides pd will be able to read it.
