Typically, I don't answer for a few days. I figured that this list would
grow and change, so the first few days would be pretty free form discussion.
But it's NOT about power. If you think ANYTHING done here is about power or
recognition, you need to step back and rethink. I'm here cuz I have an
interest, both technically and socially, in the project. No one pays me for
this. I do it for fun, please don't question my motives by suggesting I am
some sort of power-hungry leader. Conversly, I respect the opinions of the
group to such a degree that I gave up my own project (XAP) in order to work
on GMPI.

What I meant was that if I save and restore parameters, the order in which I
restore them should not matter. If setting A changes B, then I must restore
them in a specific order.

I like this, but I still like my sub-units (modules?) idea.
So in my mind I see
Plugins -- which contain
Parameters
Modules -- which contain
Parameters
ParamGroups (clumps?) -- which contain
Parameters
Perhaps tehre is some clever isa relationship there.
