Maybe rename it "defined_start" ;)

I wonder how someone can get to the point of writing more than 76 lines 
of code while not only still making this kind of errors, but not even 
knowing what these errors mean and how to correct them. It's impossible. 
You can't write programs that are more than 10 lines without having 
encountered these errors and learnt how to deal with them.

Unless you're reading exercises from a book, and feeling that you're 
"intermediate", you started reading from chapter 28 in a 29 chapters book.
