<p>the rest of my advice is just "eat your vegetables" (i.e yes, you're going to have to write a state machine, i'm sorry, them's the breaks)</p>

Maybe increment all variables regardless of type, possibly excluding `self`? Not sure</p>

<p>i guess the other 10% of advice is "people will make changes in the easiest place to make them, so if you don't clean up afterwards, you'll run out of easy places to change things"</p>
