Even for a trivial fixup like this, I think it's good to say why.
Because what seems trivial and obvious to you while working on the patch
may not be so to a reviewer, or somebody reading it 6 months later.

Just something simple like:

  The test_proto function assigns the positional parameters to named
  variables, but then still refers to "$desc" as "$1". Using $desc is
  more readable and less error-prone.
