Wow thats pretty special... both an option called realize and a
argument, that won't get confusing no matter how long it lives, also
realize doesn't seem to be conveying a useful meaning, I'm a native
speaker and I'm not sure what you actually mean by realize in this
context.

I'm going with:

to make real; give reality to (a hope, fear, plan, etc.).
 
but its seems quite an abstract term to associate reality with an
abstract computer object.

Dave.
