I thought it was sort of a neat idea. 

(Meaning: I'm not sure if it is a good solution here, but I wish I was the 
one who first thought it up.)

===============================

((WRT the subject line of this thread: I would prefer 'not_my' for 
declaring non-local variables if one went for a Perl style hack, since 
that seems like it would require much less typographic noise for "maximum 
maintainer-friendly safety mode", which would otherwise require the 
incessant my, my, my, my, my, my, my, and still more my's that uglifies 
and obscures so much Perl code.))
