As is, if you want to set a parameter on an object you have to scrounge around to find out where it's defined.
 
Something like these...
 
find_parameter('name) -&gt; $defined_on
find_next_parameter('name[, $after]) -&gt; $defined_on
 
....might come in handy.
 
The second one is assuming you allow multiple parameters of the same name on descendant objects.  I think you do.. too lazy to check the info file.
