I personally find your suggestion more confusing that the global keyword and I
think it could lead towards a cluttered syntax for the language.

I think the point about "global ;" is that its only necessary if you havent
already specified "global" in the global scope and you want to check that your
function has no undeclared varibles. I think in the majority of cases global
will be declared in the global scope and this will not be an issue.
