Sometimes I'm baffled.

[Ralf Bitter]

One further note:
param(i) is indeed parsed differently by the compiler
than a custom function as long as there is a parameter
for the result of param(i) called  in the statement.

This means:

put param(i)
works, but (with parameter)

put the visible of param(i)
yields an error.
