Perhaps there was a slight misunderstanding there. When you wrote "I'm
not sure that we should use RESULT_POOL in all other cases if function
accepts one pool", perhaps Stefan thought you meant all other cases
where a function accepts one pool, regardless of the purpose of that
pool, and he wanted to refute that suggestion. (I wondered if you
meant that.) But if you meant all other cases where a function takes
one pool and that pool is used for results, then I'd say yes, we
should rename them ... eventually.

Yes, we do have many of those. That was the Old Way. Naming the pools
'scratch_pool' or 'result_pool' is the New Way. We seem to generally
agree that is better, and sometimes we rename the single 'pool'
argument of old functions to either 'scratch_pool' or 'result_pool'.

Thank you.
