   My policy is that variable should be a single logical thing.   
   Which means that frequently I have more variables than   
   "strictly necessary".  That is I do not reuse variable for   
   different purpose even if that would be possible.  IMO   
   saving here are compiler job, and in case when compiler is   
   not doing this savings are not worth extra effort (and   
   IMO worse program structure).  Not that in reasonable program   
   we are talking here about something like say 100 words   
   or maybe 1000 words which may be significant on a small   
   embedded system (but compilers for such system are reasonably   
   good at reusing variables), but is irrelevant for bigger systems.
