current parameter

Use the current parameter to determine the current value of a parameter.  Some of the editor parameters can have settings indicating that the value of the parameter should be taken from somewhere else.

For example, the block.defaultType parameter may be set to default.  If you want to know what the actual default block type is, you will need to query default.block.defaultType.  If default.block.defaultType is set to install, you will need to query install.block.defaultType. 

The current parameter will do all this for you, so you can query current.block.defaultType and will receive either stream, character, element, or rectangle.
