Or for a slightly different take on this part.. I don't understand
what comparison is being made here, and what
the suggested problem is. Standard library implementations are
implementations of the same spec, but such multiple different
implementations of the same spec are.. ..not that common across the
greater C++ ecosystem. So I fail to
see such a need for consistent parameter names arising all that often
across that greater ecosystem.
