[Python-Dev] would warnings be appropriate for probably-misused global statements?

I've recently helped clarify a few users' confusion about what the "global"
statement is for, and I'm starting to think that it might help overcome that
confusion if "global" gave warnings when used in probably-inappropriate ways:
not inside a function, or about a variable that the function does not, in
fact, bind nor re-bind. Is there agreement that this might be helpful?
