Summary: globaling a variable twice issues warn

Initial Comment:
The following code generates a warning:

def foo():
    global dammit
    dammit = 5
    global dammit

test.py:1: SyntaxWarning: name 'dammit' is assigned to
before global declaration  def foo():

One would argue that this should still issue a warning,
but the warning it raises is a bit confusing
(especially when the two global statements are 100
lines apart).
