The use of Function makes no difference versus prg, so why bother? Keeping an eye out for performance improvements always makes a difference, despite what some people think. It means you never can write a piece of code that takes 10 hours while someone else does the same results in 15 minutes.

I use lparameters for that. The function name is not needed to make it grokable. I've seen a ton of other people's code over the years. There is no real logical, nor standard means of collecting stuff. It has always been done purely from habit and from nothing more than - "that's the way we've always done it". The alzheimer argument applies to "which procedure library is GetDate in?" - long before you worry about the parameters.
