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?
