I'm not sure about that, because not all 'parameters' can be given as
creation arguments.
For example: afaik an [phasor~] can get its frequency from an argument,
but the phase is a parameter that can only be set from its right inlet.
To me, 'parameters' also includes things that can only be set via inlets
while 'argumenten' is more specificaly the stuff you can put in an
object box to the right of the object name.
The 'discussie' metaphor is not so wrong: you say 'this object should
exist' and as arguments you can say more specifically how and why...just
like when you have an 'argument' over something.
But that's just my idea...
My vote is to let the entry $arguments = "argumenten"; as is below,
feel free to adapt.
