13 Well no. You've been arguing against some mysterious proposal that
14 doesn't exist that you think is about replacing lots of variables with
15 one variable. That's not what DEPENDENCIES is, and now that you've got
16 a proper write-up, you can try reading it, understanding it and then
17 seeing if you have any objections to what's actually being proposed.
