I was looking to see if there was already something out there, some tradition the old-timers might know about. Or maybe something somebody has already made up.
There is only one x-talk convention that I can think of. It was implemented back when HyperCard 2.0-style externals were first released. The convention allowed passing either of two specific parameters to an XCMD/XFCN and you would always get certain information back. The two params were:
! -- XCMD/XFCN sytnax ? -- author and/or copyright info
So if I had an XFCN called "getPixel", in addition to the normal programming parameters it accepted, I could also get this info back from it:
getPixel(?) --> getPixel(theXY [,theMonitor]);returns: RGB triplet getPixel(!) --> Copyright 2004, JarJar Binks
