I don't think so.

The only person whom I see talking about this in this thread is you
disclaiming that you're not talking about it. (And I guess Skybuck is
talking about it, but I don't see those.)

I don't know what comments about using OO you're referring to either.
I only see one suggestion to use classes, and you've already responded
to that. As far as comparisons to other languages, you're the one who
brought up the comparison to Java in the first place.

You seem to be spending a lot of time talking about what you won't
talk about, and very little time talking about your proposal, such as
by what magic you expect the compiler to distinguish globals from
locals without declarations.
