Then indeed it's more granular than a parameter being "implemented" or
not. A parameter may have a more restricted or extended meaning on

If you can suggest a representation that can convey this sort of
subtle complexity without being miserable to use, I for one would be
very interested to see it. I suggest that "is_implemented" solves a
legitimate problem in a reasonable way; I wasn't attempting to be
all things to all use cases.<br>
