<<Robert, can you see how your relaxed attitude towards small scopes can
be abused by other programmers, and lead us down this slippery slope? >>

Indeed. Almost all my suggestions, and anyone else's for that matter can
be abused. My solution to that is not to imagine that abuse can be prevented
by over fanatic application of arbitrary rules, my solution is to get rid
of abusive programmers, either by removal or education!
