Yes... I need to update this changelog too.

Unfortunately this var name and its matrix indexes tends to become
quite long easily and in some usages we exceed the 80 columns sometimes.

That's why, for consistency, I always shortcut to *uc_map a reference
to a clamp group and use that variable name consistently in the code.

I'll see if it's possible to get rid of the shortcut in the next version.
