Hello,

I'd prefer to keep declarations separated.

Separated how? This is the coding style of cleanup (which is quite
explicit around other styles)? Or you meant one line without wrapping?


I found odd to declare and assign a variable mid-loop but I found
multiple occurrences of the same kind of cleanup.

You can drop my comment, I'm fine with how it is. Thanks for the
cleanup.


Otherwise:
