Well, that code added more than nothing for me:
It added a moment of confusion.

I would not recommend writing it like that. The most important reason is that it
could lead new POV-Ray users to believe that the variable that holds the
TriSelect function is local to the TriOsc function.

My understanding is that it is only local to the file that holds this code.
