        Wraps individual parameters.

        Since 4.0 Parameters are no longer descriptors and are based on a new
        implementation of the Parameter class. Parameters now  (as of 4.0) store
        values locally (as instead previously in the associated model)

        This class represents a model's parameter (in a somewhat broad sense). It
        serves a number of purposes:

        #. A type to be recognized by models and treated specially at class
           initialization (i.e., if it is found that there is a class definition
           of a Parameter, the model initializer makes a copy at the instance level).

        #. Managing the handling of allowable parameter values and once defined,
           ensuring updates are consistent with the Parameter definition. This
           includes the optional use of units and quantities as well as transforming
           values to an internally consistent representation (e.g., from degrees to
           radians through the use of getters and setters).

        #. Holding attributes of parameters relevant to fitting, such as whether
           the parameter may be varied in fitting, or whether there are constraints
           that must be satisfied.

        See :ref:`astropy:modeling-parameters` for more details.

        Parameters
        ----------
        name : str
            parameter name

            .. warning::

                The fact that `Parameter` accepts ``name`` as an argument is an
                implementation detail, and should not be used directly.  When
                defining a new `Model` class, parameter names are always
                automatically defined by the class attribute they're assigned to.
        description : str
            parameter description
        default : float or array
            default value to use for this parameter
        unit : `~astropy.units.Unit`
            if specified, the parameter will be in these units, and when the
            parameter is updated in future, it should be set to a
            :class:`~astropy.units.Quantity` that has equivalent units.
        getter : callable or `None`, optional
            A function that wraps the raw (internal) value of the parameter
            when returning the value through the parameter proxy (e.g., a
            parameter may be stored internally as radians but returned to
            the user as degrees). The internal value is what is used for
            computations while the proxy value is what users will interact
            with (passing and viewing). If ``getter`` is not `None`, then a
            ``setter`` must also be input.
        setter : callable or `None`, optional
            A function that wraps any values assigned to this parameter; should
            be the inverse of ``getter``.  If ``setter`` is not `None`, then a
            ``getter`` must also be input.
        fixed : bool
            if True the parameter is not varied during fitting
        tied : callable or False
            if callable is supplied it provides a way to link the value of this
            parameter to another parameter (or some other arbitrary function)
        min : float
            the lower bound of a parameter
        max : float
