It actually makes sense if you think that float is a non-discrete. Just go
with the mental model that all real-number events have some duration to get
there, which plugins *should* use. If they don't, they are either making a
conscious decision based on good reasons, or they will sound bad.

Are there? Or rather, are there float parameters that don't make sense
ramped that can not be equally represented as some other type? To me, the
delay time makes MORE sense as an int(milliseconds).

That's why I said 'safe' It can be tweaked in realtime, but it is not safe.
It may work, or it may not. As David points out, the right answer is
probably a worker thread or some such.
