I could either:
1) create one large patch doing many thing (2+3 or 2+3+4)
or
2) add the 'offset' parameter with some other name first and rename it
to its final name after local var 'offset' is eliminated by patch 4
or
3) rename local var 'offset' first out of the way so that I can add
'offset' parameter in patch 3 (=this patch)

If I just drop patch 2 and only do 3, it won't build because 'offset'
variable appears twice (as arg and local var).
