Blame whoever designed C that there is no sane way to give a variable an
attribute like "will never change again after the first initalization thus
keeping the value in a register beyond function calls and any other kind
of memory barrier is ok". This inconsistence merily achieves a better
optimization of the code; the set_* function is intended to hide this cute
little standard violation away ...
