+* {{ulong addr}}/{{long addr}}/{{uint addr}}/{{int addr}} in memory functions
+** Relative to the specified domain (or the ""current"" domain, see above).
+** Some memory events allow {{nil}} for the address. That will hook on all addresses.
+* {{string domain}} in memory functions
+** The name of a memory domain. The list of valid domains is returned by {{memory.getmemorydomainlist}}, or can be seen in various tools such as the Hex Editor.
+** If {{domain}} is optional (i.e. the function has {{nil}} as the default argument) and you pass {{nil}} or omit the argument, the ""current"" domain is used. This can be set/gotten with {{memory.usememorydomain}}/{{memory.getcurrentmemorydomain}}.
+* {{string scope}} in memory functions
+** The name of a scope. The list of valid scopes is returned by {{event.availableScopes}}.
+* {{int frame}} in {{movie}}/{{tastudio}} functions and others
+** Frame index i.e. the number of VBlanks that have been seen. While many EmuHawk features use this concept, note that most take effect ''after'' a certain frame, but some, such as memory freezes and polling/inputs, take effect ''during'' a frame.
+* {{int? controller}}/{{int? player}} in (virtual) input functions
+** Player index, as seen in {{Config}} > {{Controllers...}} (starts at 1).
+** If you pass {{nil}} or omit the argument, this will either indicate all players, or ""no player"" i.e. buttons on the Console. See the relevant function's documentation.
+* {{luacolor line}}/{{luacolor background}} in drawing functions
+** {{line}} is the ""stroke"" or ""outline"" color, {{background}} is the ""fill"" color. Both can have transparency.
+* {{string surfacename}} in {{gui}} drawing functions
+** Either {{""emucore""}} or {{""client""}}.
+** If you pass {{nil}} or omit the argument, the ""current"" surface is used. This can be set with {{gui.use_surface}}.
+* other {{string}} parameters in drawing functions
+** See the relevant function's documentation.
+* {{int handle}} in forms functions
+** These handles are returned by {{forms.newform}} and the various control creation functions such as {{forms.checkbox}}.
+* {{string guid}}/{{string name}} in event functions
+** The ''name'' of a callback is an optional parameter in all the event subscription functions. The ''ID'' of a callback is what's returned by the subscription function. Multiple callbacks can share the same name, but IDs are unique.
