Actually, it's a lot like "Option Explicit" in Visual Basic... the idea that
you have the choice as to whether you want the compiler to flag variables
that you haven't previously declared or not. The idea being is that you'll
find typos, etc., and it's probably a bit more efficient/faster because
everything is previously declared. It's not going to affect how Rev
interprets unquoted strings, though. 

I know, perhaps we need another global property like "the explicitStrings"
which if true would require strings to be quoted? ;-)
