I can't resist making a suggestion. I hope this one hasn't already been
made.

{|upVar, <localVar>, upVar, upVar| ...}

It's got something for everybody... pipes, angle brackets, mixed scoping
behaviors...

Anyway,
Good Luck

Matz,

I hope you are not getting frustrated discussing this...
I think I only *now* understood that you were not allowing a
mix...

Do you mean that both notations would be available to the
programmer, but each block must be one or the other?

If so, would there not be many instances in which a programmer
might *want* to mix the behaviors?
