[PD] abstraction arguments and GUI

[jlistshit]

Thank you for answering, Miller.
Should i do create a github issue for one of the next versions. It would really be quite nice to be able to fall back to editing the arguments without having to destroy that object and reconnect the new one with subsequent objects…
Thank you for all you do!
