Two formally independent statements that are actually dependent because
of some implicit shared state:

In this example it's clear that the behavior of ecmake depends on the
value of $myconf:

>>

>>     local myconf=(

The latter is a lot more peaceful to maintain. I can hop right into the
code and see that changing $myconf is going to have some effect on the
ecmake line. In the first example, I could change $mycmakeargs 100 lines
away for some unrelated issue. The only way for me to know that it would
effect the cmake-utils_src_configure line is to read the source of that
function proactively (or after it breaks).
