When handling OSC messages I’m stuck creating many route objects to filter the incoming messages. This soon gets a bit messy as indicated by this patch.

I’m working with the assumption that the messages can only handled with a switch case like scenario as they need to be explicitly known beforehand.  However, if anyone has any suggestions for a more elegant and flexible method when filtering a large number of incoming OSC messages it would be most welcome.
