Hey, guess what?  There's a workaround ;-)

Take a node of your choice (Composite node is good because it can have as
many controls as you want) and use it as the control node for all your
expressions.  You don't connect it to any other nodes using its inputs our
output, just use the sliders to drive other parameters through
expressions.

Rename each of the Composite Node's inputs (Alt + Click) to show what
they're controlling.

It's not perfect, but it works well.

Regards,
Tone :)
