Well, yes, but that's because you didn't explicitly delete it, which you can
do with:

  delete global <globalName>

There are only two times when globals are completely removed - when the
interpreter quits, or when you explicitly delete globals with the syntax
above. Simply removing the declarative line of code doesn't "tell" Rev to do
anything other than removing the ability to use that global in that specific
script.
