My point was only that using "#pragma" (or even "pragma") sort of implies we
have our eye on a solution, but I don't think we're far enough down the path
of answering what we want to have any concrete ideas about how to implement
it.
I think this thread started (more-or-less) when Guido posted an idea that
originally surfaced on the idle-dev list about using "global ..." to
implement functionality like this. It's not clear to me at this point what
the best course might be.
