I suspect that if you're a good coder, or if you have a bunch of
good coders looking over your shoulder (like we do here...), then
the current style is just as likely to result in good, maintainable
code as the localized-variable style that you are proposing.  Thus,
there does not seem to be any compelling reason to change the style.

Just MO, of course.
