    Agreed.

This probably wasn't enough detail for Jeremy to act on, but was enough for
me to complete channeling you <wink>.  The tail end of the msg to which you
replied was:

    +1 on making this ["global x" sometimes] an error now.  And
    if 2.1 is relaxed to again allow "import *" at function scope
    in some cases, either that should at least raise a warning,
    or the Ref Man should be changed to say that's a defined use
    of the language.
