Feature Request: multiple Arguments in OSC Messages

I'm not sure quite how many people this would help, but I'm making the request anyway.
I'ts become clear to me, that there are some things I simply cannot get my mixer to do without a multi-argument OSC message. It would be great it Bandhelper could send them!

(As a side note, I've used other apps where the message adress, and arguments are entered as a single peice of text, and the arg types automatically determined (quotes=string, numerals with a decimal point are floats, numerals without a point are ints, anything else is a string, white-space means end of the argument), to my mind, that's a simpler way to enter - especially when there are multiple args, but I'd be happy with any scheme).

What's an example of something you can't do without this feature?

Here's a pretty specific example:
I'm sending OSC messages to my XR18 mixer when a song is selected, to select and enable an insert FX (enable it in 2 places, and select which FX of 8 possible channels), the 2 commands I need to send are:

/ch/06/insert ON Fx4A
/fx/4/insert 1

but the first of these cannot be sent from Bandhelper as far as I know, because it has 2 arguments.
There are, supposedly 2 alternative single argument messages available to replace this message, but one of them doesn't work, I've confirmed using an app called MultiTrack, that the messages above DO work (and that the alternatives don't).

Okay, I'll look into options for supporting that.
