Re: [mh] Proposal for new weather and global variable functionality.

Hi Jim,

It would be nice to be able to determine if a weather variable/param has
changed w/i your weather object.  Since state/state_now is mostly useful
for scalars and presumably your weather object is much more complex,
perhaps add something like $weather_obj->param_now($param_name) that
returns a value only if $param_name was set for the current mh "pass".
Likewise, perhaps an extension of  tie_event, like:
$weather_obj->tie_param($param_name, 'code_hook()', $optional_threshold)
so that code hooks can be constrained to changes to a param (and might
be further constrained by an optional, numeric threshold).

...looking forward to your result and would be happy to test.
