    The last panel reminds me of your suggestion to just keep reusing 'x':

    int x = ...;
    ...
    int x = ...;

    Or is that where you got the idea...?

    No, that was from real code, where cut-and-paste for similar
    calculations would have been marginally more convenient if that had been allowed.
