Replacement for keyword 'global' good idea? (e.g. 'modulescope' or'module' better?)

I appreciate your comments.  You give reasons why you
think 'global' is a good idea.

Are you sure that 'global' is widely assumed to mean
global to a *file* in proper CS theory?  Coming from C....I assumed
'global' meant global to ENTIRE EXECUTABLE!?!?  You
even admitted you also thought 'global' was confusing in past!
So how can you say you think CS community in general won't
have any problem like we BOTH did????
