A restriction which causes pointless redundant code for the 
caller who doesn't always have source code access. If my old 
teacher assistant taught me anything it is this: Redundant code 
is bad. You are literately forcing the programmer to create tmp 
variables that risk the possibility of being shadowed or worse, 
having its value change.

Your manual solution suggestion have it own set of problems. You 
might as well argue against the foreach statement, because its 
"obfuscation".
