But all it takes is one fool^Wbrave person to mess up somebody
else's perfectly working code. Basically I think this throws us
back to the bad old days when we only had "local".

Confining it to compile time would allow people to define
custom pragmas and import lexicals. Nat would be happy. Who would
be unhappy?

I haven't seen an Apocalypse mention anything about it, so I'm
hoping this is just a misunderstanding. ;)
