// The Parameter class describes both parameters (in definitions) and
// arguments (in applications). Parameters are the primary concept:
// a designer declares parameters, and a writer supplies arguments to
// fill them. The class is named for the definition side because
// definitions come first; the Argument alias is used at application sites.
