It just occurred to me that another option, for my specific example,

pass-by-reference assignment, which in the actual code that I'm writing
would be problematic because FOUND is set many times because there are
at least 4 SQL commands that my function executes.

AFAIK, functions don't really do pass by reference, except for INOUT parameters. In any case, FOUND is definitely reset when you do things like SELECT INTO.
