The idea is to see them on an average one page in the text editor, all of them
at once. As long as they are quite close to each other, the temporary variables
are not needed. Moreover, I found them a nit harmful in terms of readability as
one will need to jump over the code to see the values, while with explicit
numbers it's all being concentrated in a small code stanza.
