Of course you could use any variable instead of it. Or even not use any 
varaible at all and repeat "the selectedChunk" instead; but this whould 
have the program repeat a job it's already done.

Any time the get-it solution is safe (no other command modifying it int 
the holder, for intance) I find it easier to write, read and debug.
