Oops, missent.

If you want this, how about simply declaring all function-local
variables, and having everything else be implicitly global? Or declare
(with data type) all globals, all class attributes, and all locals,
and then let the compiler figure out what you want? Because if you
want ECMAScript or C++, you know where to find them.
