I understand that this acts as a renaming of the actual parameter supplied when the unit is instantiated. Can someone give me a good motivating example of why this is useful? I'm not looking for an example that illustrates the mechanism - I understand that. I'm looking for a real-world example that illustrates how the mechanism is useful. Thanks.
