It would have been easier to understand why this is a desirable
change if you stated what problem you are trying to solve before
that sentence.  "If I do X, Y happens, which is bad for reason Z.
With this change, Y no longer happens as long as I do not do W."

s/sh/wh/ I presume?

Hmm, wouldn't it make more sense to save the original value where
you set up the variable trace, and make the savestuff procedure do a
3-way merge?  That way, when you and the other party changed a
variable to a different value, you can give a better diagnosis to
the user to know what is going on. If both of you changed to the
same value, then the end result would be the same, of course.
