[Help-gsl] solver types and code correctness

[Gideon Simpson]

Suppose I want to solve an equation using Brent's method.

Following the example code, I declare:

const gsl_root_fsolver_type * T;
gsl_root_fsolver * s;

T = gsl_root_fsolver_brent;
s = gsl_root_fsolver_alloc(T);

But if I don't intend to switch solver types, is there any reason not  
to declare:

s = gsl_root_fsolver_alloc(gsl_root_fsolver_brent);

instead, and forgo the creation of the gsl_root_fsolver_type * ?
