Promote local variable to parameter

...is a common refactoring in programming. In a vague metaphorical way it's sense 1 ("to raise (someone) to a more important, responsible, or remunerative job or rank"), because the variable is being made more "important". I wonder if we should change anything in the entry. Equinox ◑ 15:32, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
