The system I thought was ideal for a while (and still would prefer but can
live without since setglobal can patch in most of the functionality) is to
have all globals be read-only unless access is declared via the global
keyword and creation of variables default to the current scope (ie. be local
inside of functions).  No special cases, or weird rules.
