I would have to make some changes.  The changes would be quite
obvious, and not the slightest bit more difficult to make than they
would be for a similar modification in any of the other versions that
have been presented - easier than some.

This is an artificial problem, and, as I said, the code I presented is
not exactly what I would write for a real-world problem. However, it
is quite unlikely that, in a real world problem, the type of changes
you are suggestion would arise.  If the original problem, and
solution, has been defined intelligently, it is quite unlikely that
the need for a new variable will suddenly appear.  That is, in my
experience, not that kind of changes that happens in real-world
development, and it is not the kind of maintenance for which my coding
style is optimized.
