The name "$DATA" was my suggestion. I was shooting for something short
since this is used a lot and is really a script-local variable (I'd have
kept it lowercase to indicate that, but maybe that is just me).
Something like "$root" would also work. I dunno.

Yeah, I agree that quoting the whole thing makes it more obvious (though
I guess quoting the second info$mo does add two characters).
