While I dislike the changes below, since I believe it's always more
readable to declare variables at first use, if the changes are needed to
remove compiler errors in apps, then they need to be fixed.

Patch needs a suitable commit log explaining the changes or giving the
error message.

Rather than increasing the level of indentation needed with the extra
braces, it's probably best to separate variable definition and assignment
as you did in the first change above.
