There are 358 patches and I assure you being clever and amusing did
not come to my mid while I was renaming all conflicting variables. As
to your objection: I thought the goal of the whole patchset is to add
-Wshadow to default compiler flags, is it not? I case it is, than the
future hacker will get a slap from compiler, for shadowing the previous
definition of `sal'. And in case it isn't I have a very loud "Why?!"
to shout at the universe.

Given the choice between `las' and `sal2' I have no preference either
way, so I'll rename it.
