Yes, that's true.  I was just following the original poster's lead, but 
I tend to use a `global` statement whenever I'm mutating a global in a 
local block.  That works as self-documentation and means you don't have 
to be concerned about the precise case in which it's required, reducing 
bugs when you change a block so that it would have been required if you 
hadn't included it.
