FWIW I don't like this style (defining variables within a loop) but
that's really up to Toke to decide. Also what does the generated code
look like when assigning the same variables in every loop iteration?

But honestly this just feels unnecessary code churn. Dmitry, I have to
warn that these kind of cleanups (without no concrete improvement) from
you are getting annoying, it's very close that I just start ignoring
your patches.
