No. Because you should minimize the use of variables. So if you're using
THREE variables, you're definitely doing something VERY WRONG.

If you can't handle a stack, you're definitely a C programmer. It's very
simple..

Forgive me for being contrary, but IMHO use of locals
is much more C-ish than the use of "as many as" three
(OMG!) variables in a single program. ;)
