@RubberDuck Not so much objects as parameters to the formula, but as the source of values for the variables in a formula. E.g. you might have a formula like area = base * height, and you'd tell the formula to evaluate itself in the context of some object that can supply values for base and height, just as a formula in a spreadsheet pulls values from other cells. I'm not suggesting objects as parameters to a formula, but rather one or more objects as context that supplies parameter values. Also, I don't think the OP is concerned with human readability of the formulae in question.
