It depends on what it is you are trying to do exactly. The variables scope
is fine for most things one needs to do. I'm not sure why you'd need the
variables scope to be a structure but I suppose someday it probably will be
as well. The reasons why you'd use request variables over local variables
mainly stem from the fact that request variables are available to any
template for the duration of a request. That means includes, custom tags,
handlers, etc. all can see the same request variable whereas local variables
can only be seen by the templates they are in and any cfincludes.

Are there any issues with using the request scope in lieu of the variable
scope? Or is the fact that one's a struct the only difference?
