That feels awkward.  This is more a job for an explicit up-front
pragma (OPTION EXPLICIT, anyone? ;))

'global function' feels over-verbose as well.  To be consistent:

global function alice()
   global fred
   fred()
end

global function fred()
 ...
end

The 'global fred' forward declaration is a nice bit of documentation, however
