no, i think that "stata" and "statum" are invented lexical terms
derived from "state" not "static". i have to say that i don't like the
use of these terms, even though the concept they are labelling seems
fine. computer science must have generated some existing terms for
this, surely?
as for their size varying, i think they would work in a similar way to
VST's getChunk, as far as i can tell from the discussion to date. a
plugin would get N bytes of a "stata" when its state is set, but could
return N+M bytes when its state is queried later (e.g. post version
change, or when its state has been altered so that more information is
required to represent it).
