You wrote it this particular way because generic_mourn_inferior could
switch inferior, as you explained in your commit message. I think it
would deserve a comment at all these spots to explain that we capture
the current inferior before "generic_mourn_inferior", because that
function can switch the current inferior. Otherwise, it would be very
easy for someone (like me) to "optimize out" the temporary variable
without realizing the behavior change.
Otherwise I think it's fine, one little baby steps towards using less
"current inferior" everywhere.
