Absolutely! :-)

I don't develop with explicitVars turned on either, so the original 
point of this utility stack was to take a stack that was already 
working properly and make it work in an environment with explicitVars 
turned on. Of course this was developed in the day when Rev's variable 
checking  could be turned on all the time, which would cause plugins, 
etc. not to run unless it was turned off (or unless they were 
explicitVars-compliant). Now, Rev only turns on variable checking when 
you go to close/compile the script; otherwise it is left off (so the 
usefulness of this stack is limited).
