   So I've been lurking on python-dev for almost a year now.  I think
   it's been a year--might be more.  I forget.  My friend just sent his
   first post to python-dev.  This is what he said:
</p>
<pre class="code">
   I'd like to suggest "outer v" for this.  The behavior could be to scan
   outward for the first definition of v.  If the only outer-scope variable
   is at module-level, then the behavior would be the same as "global v".
   Or if everyone is comfortable enough re-using the keyword "global", then
   I also like "global v in f".
</pre>

   It was pretty exciting.  So I asked him how he felt.  To this he 
   responded, "naked".
