While I do not agree with "it is simpler" at all (it makes it harder
for callers if they ever want to use different variables--they would
need to invent a temporary variable just for that, and it makes it
no difference for existing callers that happen to use the same
variable), I like the way the real reason why we want to do this is
mentioned in the proposed log message.
Will queue.
