Didn't want to get into that, but so true.

I spent an hour yesterday trying to track down a bug that turned out to be
caused by a misspelled variable name.

I had turned off Strict Compile Mode temporarily because of the "name
shadows another variable" bug which still hasn't been fixed and causes me
to quit and restart LC probably 6 times a day.
