No, that makes no sense. Function/procedures/methods are independent of of
function/procedure/message types, maybe even declared indifferent units not
related to each other and used together only in a third unit.

Also it would be harder to see easily which parameters a routine takes as
you'd need to check the corresponding type first.
(And if you now say that an IDE can help with that, well 1) not everyone
uses one and 2) the same could be said about your original problem)

Regards,
Sven
