I'm not sure what the point of this example is, anyway. Why would you require an argument, then immediately overwrite it? > The reason I re-set arguments.some to few is because I want > to type 3 letters instead of 14, but if I should always scope > my variables, then there is no point of resetting it. Yes, there's no point in storing one variable's value within another solely to avoid typing a scope identifier.
