That would be great. What would be really nice is to have destructors that are exact counterparts to the "obj" and "connect" ("destroy" and "disconnect"?) messages sent to canvases. This would make creating patches that use dynamic instanciation much easier. Also, one could conceivably build a GUI utilizing this (I'm almost considering doing this).
