In the program window content pane, circle symbols with F and P are used to indicate functions and procedures. This is OK.

But the same P icon is also used to indicate method parameters.
And the same F symbol is used for field list (e.g. in records).
This is ambiguous. I know that the symbols are at different levels, but at a quick overview, this can be confusing.

Can this be changed?
I do not have a simple solution for this, but maybe a lowercase p and a lowercase f could be used. Alternatively Pa for parameter and Fi for field?

Also, simple variables and cursors are both indicated by the V symbol. I would request that cursors are indicated differently, maybe by Cu or similar.

Not an easy task, I know. But it could be nice to be able to differentiate between the different elements in a more distinct manner, so you are never in doubt when looking at a symbol in the content pane.

This is indeed ambiguous with the new style. We'll fix it.
