Though I agree in general, I often feel confused when the
formal parameter is named like the right hand side. Especially
when used in VHDL it's a drawback to have IO-ports and signals
share the same name (you don't know whether you're connecting
to a signal (multiple endpoints) or a port (single endpoints))

Of course the workaround is simple: special naming convention ;)
