That works, the problem is that someone else (or maybe even me) will
come along and remove the second private as part of cleaning up... I
have put a comment there, but I still dont like it.

Work as expected? I.e zz is an instance variable?

Another pitfall for young players.

The xx declaration makes all other variables after it class ones as
well. I know its documented, but one doesn't realise the impact until
after falling in the hole. And the hole remains in my code for a
future developer to fall into. This is specially bad after being used
to the class function declaration which works differently.
I hate this sort of stuff, the code can not become more robust if a
declaration of a new variable affects previous declarations.
