Are placeholders things which need to be predefined, and are they therefore 
having to be drawn from a fixed-at-any-time (but knowable) universe of 
placeholders?

Are the placeholders a specific set or subject of objects that can be easily 
pointed to anywhere in the code?

Are they, in any instance, definitions of a table name and column value?

Can any kind of starting point, one which includes placeholders, be offered?
