If the dummy argument is, say D, and the specification expression
consists of D, then one could determine what the value of D was at the
instant the specification expression was used for, say, an array bound
by using, say, UBOUND(A,1).  If the specification expression is F(D),
where F is some arbitrary specification function, it might be a bit
tricky to invert F to discover what value D had when F(D) was computed.

Maybe that's not a problem.
