Was thinking this distinction only occurs when you try to mimic natural =
 =

language and do not when you name parameters as objects.

To get back to a simple exemple:

    function F (Instance : Instance_Type) return Result_Type;

There is no internal point of view or user point of view here, the  =

parameter is named as an object.

I just don't like it, because its too long for named parameter  =

associations like "F (Instance =3D> Foo)", especially when numerous  =

parameters follows. I don't mind with declarations and bodies.

May be better to forget about this aspect for now and don't care about  =

identifiers's size too much.
