Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:50:43 -0400

    +  A @dfn{variable} is a name that can be bound to an object; binding
    +is frequently referred to as `setting', and the object to which
    +a variable is `set' is often called a `value' that the variable
    +`holds'.

This change might be ok, but please use @dfn around the terms that are
introduced, rather than single quotes.  @dfn exists precisely for
this.
