yeah, I need this for pixelTANGO Franz Hildgren is working on it.

handy... hmmm... What do you think Franz?

Also we're hoping to impliment OSC parameter discovery into pixelTANGO,
hopefully built into memento with a pool that stores all commun names
even if they have arbitrary (/pt/1/pt.fader/alpha) names. Need OSC to do
what we want first...

What is the best way to deal with OSC queries in PD, a two-way socket
communication object would be handy... netclient??
