An analogy better than "name" is "pronoun"
'n' is more like a pronoun than a name.

Variable.names are a big improvement over pronouns
because, in every natural language I'm aware of,
there are no more than a handful of pronouns,
used with many handfuls of referents, and
their distinct referents are kept distinct
by context, AKA, figuring.it.out.
Even if the figuring.out doesn't fail, a lot of work.

I think that your wished.for supplements of

can be defined given
standard.issue quantifiers.

Well, one might aver that extra-ordinary
universal quantifiers are merely syntactic sugar,
yet there's that in the low- and high- orders,
or the first and final, that what they would
reflect of the _effects_ of quantification,
something like

for-any A?
for-each A+
for-every A*
for-all A$

that it is so that the sputniks or extras
of the quantification in the extra-ordinary,
have that a quantifier disambiguation:
is in the syntax.

Then for the rest of it, like our discussions
on continuous domains and continuous topologies,
i.e. the topology that's initial and final itself,
then these line-reals field-reals signal-reals,
about the integer continuum linear continuum
long-line continuum, ubiquitous ordinals and
extra-ordinary theory, is that these are objects
of the universe of mathematics in the
Hilbert's Infinite Living Museum, of Mathematics.

When considering someone like Paul do Bois-Reymond,
who came up with the diagonal argument and the long-line,
and Mirimanoff, who came up with the axiom of regularity
and also the extra-ordinary, and for example Peano,
with his integers and infinitesimals, then one may well
aver that today's standard is a tenuous sort of course,
that is much more fully enriched by the first sort of
nonstandard function like the Dirac Delta, then into
the greater realm of the superclassical law(s) of large
numbers, and more replete three definitions of
continuous domains, and the Cantor space(s).
