Also, I'd quibble about your use of the term "global variables."

Everybody except some Euphorians calls it global variables. Of course it refers to lifetime, not necessarily scope.

I disagree, as does Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_variable said...

In computer programming, a global variable is a variable that is accessible in every scope.

I'll allow that other languages may refer to anything outside of an object as 'global', and in some languages, like C, there's not much difference. Nevertheless, and regardless what your favorite language may be, this is a forum for discussing euphoria. A better analogy might be the static variable.
