Stack Level Local/Globals

[Dennis Brown]

Hi All,

I have searched all over BZ looking for an enhancement to the global  
or local declarations that provide the missing Stack level scope in  
Transcript because I wanted to add my votes to it, but I can't seem  
to find it.  Could someone point me to it, otherwise I will enter it.

Global variable = Scope across all stacks --these are a pain to use  
because the scope is too broad so they need special naming conventions.
Stack global variable =  Scope across sub-stacks --this is the  
missing scope that could replace globals in most situations.
Script local variable = Scope across script --we have this
Local variable = Scope inside handler --we have this

The stack global/local variable (I am not sure what it should be  
called) just has the scope of a single main-stack and sub-stacks.   
This means that I could assign "global" names to a project without  
having to take into consideration global names that may have been  
used by someone else.  This seems like the missing scope piece that  
would simply solve many problems.  It was suggested to me privately  
in an email, so I assumed that it has had an enhancement request in BZ.
