If any of bar, baz, quux or xyz plausibly might modify variable, then
this code has undefined behaviour - because the call order is undefined.
(... except for quux() being called before baz; and baz, bar and xyz
being called before foo, of course; the point in all that at which
variable's value gets read is indeterminate, any which way.)
Not that I see how this bears on whether that complex call to foo()
should be extracted as a separate method,
