Sure, but I don't quite see what really requires fixing here. Even if
there's an "inconsistency" with variable manipulation pattern, it
does not present a risk of becoming broken if we begin to manipulate
or refactor this area of the code, nor do we need to force one rule
across the whole source code. I'd suggest to keep this one for
patches that rework the whole area, if these churns prove to be
annoying.
If somebody else wants to come around and apply this patch, I'm OK
with that, of course, my opinion is just one voice among many others.
