+/// Please, don't reintroduce uninitialized_var().
+/// From Documentation/process/deprecated.rst:
+///  For any compiler warnings about uninitialized variables, just add
+///  an initializer. Using warning-silencing tricks is dangerous as it
+///  papers over real bugs (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated
+///  compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it
+///  is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler
+///  changes. Keep in mind that in most cases, if an initialization is
+///  obviously redundant, the compiler's dead-store elimination pass will make
+///  sure there are no needless variable writes.
