Steve,
I hate to say it, but your reference is nothing but a pile of opinion
that varies all around the globe, and has little to do with what I
proposed. Local by default would be local to the scope within which it
is defined. That's not so difficult. Globals would not exist. Variables
can be shared, but always explicitly, both on the giving and the
receiving side. With that, lexical scoping would basically disappear as
an issue.

Since that is not what I proposed, I doubt that it would cause much
enthusiasm, either. All declarations would be local by default, not
requiring the local keyword, and things like print(i) would be prefixed.
We've been here before, and there's a wiki page all about it:
