OK, but:
1. (English) "This variable's value should be..." It is the value, not the
variable itself.
2. (Meaning) Without the last sentence I wrote above (or something equivalent)
we don't say what the function (value of the var) _does_. What's the point of
someone providing a function as the value if we don't say what the function is
for?
