+ A @dfn{variable} is a name that can be bound to an object; binding
+is frequently referred to as `setting', and the object to which
+a variable is `set' is often called a `value' that the variable
+`holds'.
This change might be ok, but please use @dfn around the terms that are
introduced, rather than single quotes. @dfn exists precisely for
this.
