To go back to your original question about Enrique's suggestion[1], are local
variables needed?

That is, and this is just for my clarification, the original question was
about _VERSION, _URL etc. as field names, not as local variables, wasn't
it? (I'm just trying to clarify if you're now asking a second question or
if this is somehow the same question.)
