Either way works. Remember I just said: "(Well, plus the notion that,
when applied to a mutator, the save/restore instruction is passed
on to the mutatee to save itself before the mutation, not after.)"
And I'd say undefine is definitely a mutator even if you don't call it
with .= syntax. All of these probably end up doing the same thing:
(temp $x).undefine
temp $x.undefine
(temp $x).=undefine
temp $x.=undefine
temp($x .= undefine)
temp($x = undef)
temp $x = undef
