I'd love that, not for the coding speed argument, but for the
maintenance argument: reducing escope thus reducing chances of error.
But what I'd like the most is a compilation mode where parameters (or
even local variables) are 'const' (or write-once) by default :-)
Enforcing explicit declaration of every field, class or global used in
a function would be nice too ;-)
But please don't tell to use ADA or the new RedHat language :-D

Best regards,
