In areaDetector we try to improve readability using environment variables and comments:

# The port name for the detector
epicsEnvSet("PORT",   "SIM1")
# The maximum image width; used to set the maximum size for this driver and for row profiles in the NDPluginStats plugin
epicsEnvSet("XSIZE",  "1024")
# The maximum image height; used to set the maximum size for this driver and for column profiles in the NDPluginStats plugin
epicsEnvSet("YSIZE",  "1024")

# Create a simDetector driver
# simDetectorConfig(const char *portName, int maxSizeX, int maxSizeY, int dataType,
#                                   int maxMemory, int priority, int stackSize)
simDetectorConfig("$(PORT)", $(XSIZE), $(YSIZE), 1, 0, 0,0)

In my experience comments tend to be wrong after a while. To me it sounds like we actually want support for named arguments [1].
