Functions must use global statements to identify all global variables they
may re-bind (NOT all those they NEED -- as long as they don't REBIND
them).  Hopefully this makes using global variables painful enough to act
as a discouragement to their use unless it's really the only sensible
thing...;-)

Names meant to be "internal" should start with a single underscore.
