 That was more about internal variables, not user-facing variables. And also
about variables that are actually assigned to. Each variable that is set in
inner-generic-package gets multiplied a thousandfold and this puts pressure on
the internal tables in make.

 Iff there are several users of it. So, as I said, it's a good idea if we get 4
features.
