yeah.

i mean my trouble right now is, i swear to GOD IN HEAVEN that i used
gverb the other day on a track.  now the same track i'm trying again,
and i swear - 1 input, 2 outputs is what the plugin list says - but yet
no it won't let me.  so last week i would try pre fader, then post fader
- i still can't learn to predict when the @*%(@% a given plugin will
work.  it obviously doesn't work the way i think it does, OR it's buggy.
i'm hoping a veloper will chime in and tell us how these things are
supposed to work

omg that reminds me what's the status of the manual?  is there one?  i
should go look and see what's there i haven't thought about that in like
a year.

It would be preferable though to be able to send any track to whatever plugin with merging / splitting done as necessary (perhaps with a warning for the cases where conversion will occur).
