And all the things that don't fit a category perfectly? Or all the things
that fit two, three or ten categories? At the least, it would have to be a
list or mask of categories. And the categories would have to be much higher

Instrument
Effect
Proxy
Controller
etc.
Even then, I don't see it as really helping anything at all..
