Well being explicit when trying to suggest an implicit syntax (in order
to reduce typing) is a little difficult ;-)

Though you're right my main goal is not being implicit but would be
reducing typing and have shorter source code lines.

If 'global '<varname>' is accepted inside a def, then moving
'class_elements <varnames>' inside the def could be acceptable as well
though it would requiere, that this statement is repeated per def
