    # definitions of certain variables generated in transf with
    # names such as:
    # `r`, `res`

    #
    # about sfShadowed:
    # consider the following Nim code:
    #   var x = 10
    #   block:
    #     var x = something(x)
    # The generated C code will be:

    # Right now, we work-around by not keeping the original name
    # of the shadowed variable, but we can do better - we can
    # create an alternative reference to it in the outer scope and
    # use that in the inner scope.
    #
    # about isCKeyword:
    # Nim variable names can be C keywords.
    # We need to avoid such names in the generated code.
    #
    # about sfGlobal:
    # This seems to be harder - a top level extern variable from
    # another modules can have the same name as a local one.
    # Maybe we should just implement sfShadowed for them too.

    # These are not properly scoped now - we need to add blocks
    # around for loops in transf
