Re: AW: AW: AW: non-locals are only sometimes global?

[Mark Hamburg <mark@...>]

The loop and the function parameters serve as declarations for the variables. Note that a local declaration outside the scope of those constructs is a declaration of a different variables. Global-by-default only applies to undeclared variables. The "local" statement only exists to provide declarations for variables that can't be readily defined via other constructs like loops and functions.
