I guess whoever originally wrote the code used "d" for ..._dev.  And in
spite of being just one letter, I find it more descriptive than "this".
Would you mind killing "this" instead of "d"?  And likewise in the other
hunks, always nuke "this", as it has zero descriptiveness.

Otherwise a nice cleanup.  Did you check that the resulting object code
remains identical?
