Another one: "immediate" instead of "inline". Connotation from assembly code is "stuck in the middle of something else, not a variable". Etymology is "nothing between the user and the object, no mediator". Regular objects have *object identity* as the mediating factor between the object and every user. https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/immediate and https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/near-at-hand also have "direct", "adjacent", "close", "near", "contiguous", "available", and many more. Vladimir I. suggests that an ideal keyword will suggest or imply immutability. "Immediate" does this, as well as suggesting that the thing is available (inline) close at hand.
