Accessing Custom Attributes Paramblock

[ZeBoxx2]

either parse the source, or use the pblock definition?


a = custattributes.getDef $ 1
<AttributeDef:test>
custAttributes.getDefSource a
"attributes test (
parameters main (
rad type:#float
deg type:#angle
)
)
"
custAttributes.getPBlockDefs a
#(#(#main, 0, 0, #(), #(#rad, #(#type, #float)), #(#deg, #(#type, #angle))))


or, if bored, parse the output of showproperties:

showproperties $.test
.rad : float
.deg : angle
false

Thanks for helping this out. I was hoping there's some better or more elegant way of doing this. Accessing the Paramblock definition really doesn't seems that neat to me but oh well, it works.
