Well, see, that's where I think it's a bug. If there's a global xyzzy
in memory I don't think the compiler should let me use a local xyzzy,
no matter whether I declare the global in the script or not. If you
have a global variable in a script and you try to redeclare it as a
local variable the compiler won't let you do that.

Using the same name for both is a bad idea in the first place, whether
or not you can get away with it.
