I thought I'd see if there was an actual demand for that. In most cases I suspect the overhead is not really significant.
In my readAndQuery method, there is a completion function that gets executed after the variables are updated. I believe there are some other classes in the main library that do something like this, so there is precedent. Might be a good solution here. Some of my classes depend on it, so your reworking would not be a complete replacement of my approach unless you put this in.I thought about doing something like this, particularly in updateInfo. I'm not so sure about doing it in *read though, as this complicates the basic system for the sake of a special case. i.e. you'd either have to have separate OSCresponderNodes to update each Buffer, which is what I was trying to avoid in order to keep things simple and low rent, or you'd have to store the functions as well. At the moment one can add a responderNode manually and do that if needed.
But maybe you're right. I'll take a look at it. S.
