I've used the functionality provided by Pyramid back in the old days, not AFS. Does AFS have a fixed number of parameter names across the system, or are the *values* fixed across the system? If it's the latter, this seems much less useful. For example, one session may want a.out while another wants elf. Just to name an example.
