Consistent function arguments

[jmonticolo]

For code quality and consistency, wouldn't it be better to standardize the names of the arguments?

In the code we have object_name vs p_object.

I propose as standardization object_description with object in schema, table, view, etc. and description in name, type, etc.

Exhaustive list of functions arbitrary grouped by argument names:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_ddl (object_type text, name text, schema text DEFAULT NULL)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_dependent_ddl (object_type text, base_object_name text, base_object_schema text DEFAULT NULL)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_granted_ddl (object_type text, grantee text)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_object_oid(p_object_type text, p_schema text, p_object_name text)

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(name text, value text)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(name text, value boolean DEFAULT true)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_schema_oid(p_schema text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_table_ddl (p_schema text, p_table text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_sequence_ddl (p_schema text, p_sequence text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_sequence_ddl_of_table (p_schema text, p_table text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_constraints_ddl_of_table (p_schema text, p_table text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_ref_constraints_ddl_of_table (p_schema text, p_table text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_indexes_ddl_of_table (p_schema text, p_table text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_type_ddl(p_schema_name text, p_type_name text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_granted_roles_ddl(p_grantee text)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_view_ddl (view_schema text, view_name text)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_routine_ddl (schema_name text, routine_name text, routine_type text DEFAULT 'procedure')
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_index_ddl(schema_name text, index_name text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_constraint_ddl(schema_name text, constraint_name text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_check_constraint_ddl(schema_name text, constraint_name text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_ref_constraint_ddl(schema_name text, constraint_name text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_trigger_ddl(schema_name text, trigger_name text)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbms_metadata.get_triggers_ddl_of_table(schema_name text, table_name text)

I have nothing against more standardization in parameter name, a PR will be welcomed.
