In discussing how to rename "local"
we appear to be trading in the spatial metaphor for the temporal.
How about
fornow
which could occur either before or after the assignment?
fornow $" = ',';
$" = ',' fornow;
"now" tends to persist until you are done with whatever you're up to
when "now" starts, and I really (at this particular juncture) like the
idea of collapse of a scope being equivalent to "the end of now."
now $/ = undef; #prepare to slurp w/o disturbing global line-logic
"Now" is regularly used in English to separate the present from the general,
for instance the temporary situation
"The Chiefs have scored a touchdown, now they will try for the extra point"
could be expressed in gamerules::americanfootball as
now $points{touchdown} = 1;
now $points{fieldgoal} = 1;
