ah, thanks for that. yes, indeed the binding system in a3 will fix
that issue, at least in the sense that MIDI binding maps can reference
any parameter in any plugin.

it doesn't address a "MIDI learn" style of binding, which i still
can't see how to implement since the action that would start it occurs
(presumably) with some user action in the plugin GUI, and the host
doesn't know about it.
