  I proposed to model variables in those namespace on the formfactor
package, and with Richard's and Marcin's explaining that there intention
was to have "physical" parameters, and with Graeme's vote, that's
apparently the way to go.

  From my side, proposal to use logical meaning was an RFC, and
choosing other semantics won't change situation much.
