Yes - I'm rather pleased with it as well. ;^) One more benefit, this way I can dump or pass the "local" scope as I would any other scope. The major drawback is (of course) the same as all the other options mentioned so far: you've got to remember to actually do this every time (those loop counters will catch you every time!).
