Hi Jason,

Thanks. :) I think there are enough symbols I can use that don't contain
letters (to avoid clashes with existing types); hopefully that won't be
confusing. (e.g. 15, ^&, ;), etc).

Ah, that was your concern. You're correct -- this can be limiting.
Classes need to have unique names, although atom names are case-sensitive
and can take numbers as well as a number of ASCII symbols (just be sure to
avoid a . and :, as those are reserved for the atom mask syntax). That
should hopefully provide enough flexibility to represent your whole
parameter set...

All the best,
Jason
