Some questions:
What are the scope of the variables used in libraries? Will the variables listed under <params/> go out of scope after the library is complete and thus gets cleaned up by the game? Does the scope of the variables depend on how the library is used, like in <include_actions ref/> and <cue ref/>?
Also, is it absolutely required to clean-up variables by myself (i.e., explicitly use <remove_value/>)? I am worried I might create a memory leak and forget about it.

Hi,
The parameters defined in the head of a library do not need cleanup. As you suspected correctly they are used by calls of the library from other cues or scripts.
As a rule of thumb any value you define within a cue should be removed at the end (clean up).
And sorry for the delayed reply.
Cheers Euclid
