You're playing a bit fast and loose with the definition.  An uninitialized 
variable clearly displays its own name in upper case, but that isn't the same 
thing as having a variable initialized with its own name.  So whether you agree 
with the use of the description in parenthesis, the documentation clearly 
indicates an uninitialized variable as being the criteria.
