I don't think that's a good idea. Just leave the number in there,
because otherwise addresses local_00:01:02 and local_00:01:02 would look
the same, while the first local might have a value of 36:37:38 and
the second local value might be 02:00:00

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
