Huh?
Reading from top to bottom, as I used to, I see increasing
numbers, which are in the same order as the "increasing hate"
(not a linear function, but the same ordering).
4 - allowing it to address local/global variables
is what I hate the most.
This is in no contradiction to allvars(), which is simply
a function that puts some variables into a dict, therefore
deliberating the interpolation from variable access.
Where is the problem, please?
