This doesn't seem to me to be the correct semantics.  It's a local variable
that's being created.  It should set its expiration timeout based on the
value of the expression used in the declaration.  It doesn't matter that
that expression is in terms of a local variable, provided that that variable
is defined at the time of initialization - which is indeed the case in the
example Christian put together.
