-//: So far we have local variables, and we can nest local variables of short
-//: lifetimes inside longer ones. Now let's support 'global' variables that
-//: last for the life of a routine. If we create multiple routines they won't
-//: have access to each other's globals.
-//:
-//: This feature is still experimental and half-baked. You can't name global
-//: variables, and they don't get checked for types (the only known hole in
-//: the type system, can cause memory corruption). We might fix these issues
-//: if we ever use globals. Or we might just drop the feature entirely.
