And why is this a desirable change, not merely a distracting code churn? IOW, are there other changes that build on this change that benefits from the fact that the variable that holds the value to be returned is always called "res" after this patch gets applied? FWIW, I actually think "retval" would be a more appropriate name for the variable that holds the value to be returned than "res", but it is not worth the churn either way---I see this more as "once the code is written one way, it is not worth wasting bits and brain cycles to change it" kind of issue. Unless there are other valid reasons to do this change, that is. Thanks.
