This morning I'm thinking about turning my previous paper notation into a visual notation for something we typically use keyword args for. For example, the following glyph:

…might represent a function for initializing a text editor widget with the following signature:

edit.initialize(top, left, right, bottom, font_size)

And the numbers indicate a specific call to this function:

edit.initialize(15, 15, 115, 215, 20)

Interestingly, these alternative semantics would make for a more pleasing glyph.

edit.initialize(margin-top, margin-left, margin-right, margin-bottom, font-size)

Comments gratefully appreciated. Please send them to me by any method of your choice and I'll include them here.
