To put it the other way: only specified free names are accessible.

Suggestion looks fairly good for me and I think shouldn't be too hard
to implement (no VM tweaks required as it's purely syntactic sugar).
One possible extension to it: add <const> (and probably <toclose> as
well?) specifier, so you can make sure that var isn't changed by
accident. Again, as we already have <const> locals, this probably
shouldn't be too hard to add into existing code.
