Bingo. :)

I quite like it. After you redact a name, code that follows it
considers the declaration of the name
as having been redacted, and can't name or redeclare the thing. The
name's earlier declaration
is there for cleanup purposes, but for post-redaction naming purposes,
it's just sharpied all over.

Maybe even better names exist, but that's a very explicable analogy,
if you ask me.
