I'll have to take a look. Is it currently located in the XML stuff? Any 
interest in working it into the core.* stuff?

I guess my question should have been "Is is *already* possible...".

That was my thought. For the Boss GT-3, they use the same location for 
different things depending upon other settings. For example, if your 
modulation effect is set to "Chorus", then a certain address might 
contain the chorus regeneration. If the effect is set to "Flanger", then 
the same address might contain the wet mix level. So, you can't just 
start at offset 0 and start enumerating the parameters. For the GT-3, 
you'd have to specify actual addresses. But, even then, you'd only have 
to do it when you needed to jump backward. So, most of the addresses 
could still be inferred.
