It's not how defs are supposed to be used. It's like using fields for
everything in Java
even though you could use local variables for a lot of things, just because
you can.

def produces a shared (well, namespace-local) var. You probably
want a function-local one.

On top of that, since the thread is about performance, vars have features
that locals don't
and no feature comes without performance overhead.
