In the domain of German speaking countries - isn't Tim located there?
(I somehow got the impression) - we've heard about "Parameterubergabe";
[..] means passing, transferring, handing over, transmitting, etc.

Because of that - and because I could not follow the thoughts of Tim's
last paragraph with his conclusion;  I didn't find it convincing - I'd
think that "passing" would fit better, also in the light of historic
usage [hereabouts], even though I've often heared (and also used) the
phrase "call by" in the English CS domain in the past (and probably
still used to it).

I don't think they're worth quoting, they provide no argument,
they were fuzzy.  (Of course all only IMO.)

My statement was meant as a request, not a demand.  I asked
because I wasn't sure if you had something in particular to
say to me or if you were just talking more or less aimlessly.
