Parameters: look for a suitable arrangement of interfaces

While the role of all the relevant interfaces has been determined,
it still remains difficult to establish a sensible relationship.
Which one is the most fundamental interface?

After a lot of mulling, it seems that the Provision interface
should be used as foundation, since it describes the very core
of the parameter concept developed here -- even while the actual
form of the operations must be somewhat cunningly reversed,
so that the knowledge regarding the underlying type can be
kept an opaque implementation detail.

The Domain interface would then be layered on top, and describes
the capability to transfer values between buffers marked with different
domains (which effectively requires a double-dispatch in the general case).
