Like Martin, I think it is a big drawback. It's another case of subtle modality that would cause much confusion and forgetful bugs, and require much explanation and reminding. What's more, if the scope of "set" is one command, that itself would confuse users, I think. Is there any way to shorten "begin" and "end" instead? How often does one need to assign a variable for just one command? I have not encountered a need for it; perhaps you as a developer need it a lot. Notice that if you need to set a lot of variables before a command, the verbosity is amortized. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
