I cannot think about any other meaningful variables, do you?

Not offhand. But one thing that could go to the question of parameter name
- what if we finish something that's not a segment. During a time line
switch for example, we also get other files don't we? We probably want to
trigger at least some command in that case - either with an argument or by
a different parameter?
