No good reason, just happened to be how some refactoring factored out.

There's a little confusion regarding VAR_ONLY, and the whole thing needs
to be cleaned up wrt that. Originally, for simplicity I implemented it
such that you could only either have variables or values, not both.
Later when I added the assignment code, I changed that and some of the
old related code remained. Anyway, suffice it to say that this whole
area will be cleaned up...

As mentioned, this is a holdover that no longer makes sense, will clean
the whole thing up in the next version.

Yep, some missing commas in the output, thanks for pointing them out.
