The tl;dr is that by letting an algorithm declare variables instead of
doing the work of finding the missing ones manually you're actually
compounding the problem. It makes it harder to spot the accidental
errors at runtime.
If you are editing a script and type 'tVar' instead of 'tVar1' you'll
have a hard time finding the error after tVar1 is legitimized.
