Just to clarify, I don't want to change the way the parameters are 
stored in the parse tree (aka, splitting the parameter). They are 
currently individual instances of IAdaVariable and I want that to 
continue. The only change is making the source range (ISourceRange) more 
specific - and thus using unique instances of the ISourceRange for each 
IAdaVariable that is defined in a parameter list.

I suppose what I am asking is a more specific definition of where an 
IAdaVariable is at in the source file. Right now the source range starts 
at the first letter of the first parameter in a list and extends to the 
last letter in the type of those parameters. I was hoping that the 
source range would just include the parameter name.

I just wanted to clarify - not to argue the point. It seems like there 
are perfectly valid reason do continue doing it the current way.

Thanks for taking the time to consider this and respond. I appreciate it.
