Explicit variables (was: Re: tabbed windows)

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi all,

I take the opportunity of Jim comment to point out a thing I do not  
consider as correct with Rev:
I always work with explicit variables (a question of habits with  
other languages and to ensure security :-)
Then, all variables used in a repeat control structure header that  
are not declared do not make the engine moan...:
repeat with i = 1 to  100 -- i not declared: no alert
repeat for each line tLine in tText -- tLine not declared: no alert  
but tText will...
etc.

Is this a dysfunction (I can't call that a bug) or a feature I miss?
