You are correct Mark. The errant code has to be in a handler inside of a
script to get the error. Outside a handler in a script, it's not executable,
and is therefore not compiled because the whole block, with the exception of
the local declaration, which would become a script local, is meaningless. I
tested this way and got the same result of no compile error. ;-)
