Any argument whose name contains the name of a type (e.g.,
-@var{integer}, @var{integer1} or @var{buffer}) is expected to be of that
+@var{integer}, @var{integer1} or @var{buffer}) is expected to be
+bound to an object of that
type.
We normally use "argument" to refer to the value, not the name.
Thus, it is correct as written now. Please don't make it more pedantic.
