I don't really have an answer for that, but I do think it
is a related issue.

 - To override defaults/min/max you need to be able to 
   copy a param spec.

 - To override defaults/min/max you'd like to be able to
   copy a param spec in a way that doesn't involve duplicating
   the nick/blurb strings.
