That is a rather emphatic no :).
 Is there some performance or other related reason why it is a bad idea? I'm
not knowledgeable in this area but I'd like to know.

Sometimes my variable declarations is filled with lots of variables for the
sake of making code involving long derived expressions comprehensible and
the clutter the understanding at the top level of the procedure.

Can a procedure be declared inline just for the sake of introducing those
variables?
