ok. since we don't have any code to base our judgement of this
proposal on, i'll quote an earlier post from you, where you are
referring to the strings describing specific parameter values:

this _is_ a dirty trick and an ad-hoc solution if ever there was one
if you ask me. generalizing this to higher levels gives me nausea.

besides, it has been shown that you need not limit yourself to double
usage of existing descriptor members to maintain binary compatibility.
i know you can do better.
