"var" meaning variable?

Could you please go back and try to ensure you spell out all the words
you are intending to write? I think "topo" probably means "topology",
but it's a really odd word to use for changing the arguments of a
function, so I'm not sure.

There are a couple more of these in this set.

It looks like you quickly resent this set without updating the patch

I know you are just replacing some existing variables, but we have a
slightly higher standard for naming when you actually have to specify
arguments to a function. Can you please give these proper names?
