into two queries:
- `crate_variances` computes the variance for all items in the current crate.
-- `item_variances` accesses the variance for an individual reading; it
+- `variances_of` accesses the variance for an individual reading; it
works by requesting `crate_variances` and extracting the relevant data.
-If you limit yourself to reading `item_variances`, your code will only
+If you limit yourself to reading `variances_of`, your code will only
depend then on the inference inferred for that particular item.
Eventually, the goal is to rely on the red-green dependency management
algorithm. At the moment, however, we rely instead on a hack, where
-`item_variances` ignores the dependencies of accessing
+`variances_of` ignores the dependencies of accessing
`crate_variances` and instead computes the *correct* dependencies
itself. To this end, when we build up the constraints in the system,
we also built up a transitive `dependencies` relation as part of the
