But if they're already listed elsewhere in logical places, why have a "big 
heat o' variables" too?  If they're hard to find in their current location 
then we need to clean up the current location, not add a bandaid on top of 
it.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
