Hello, several times I encountered a problem of scoping my variables. As I understand, variables in J are either global, or local. This is fairly similar to C, but in C the globals may be globals just within a file, and, unless marked extern, they are still invisible to the outside.
Since local variables of a function are not visible to functions called by the function, I do not see a good way to limit the scope of my variables. Using _locale_ is not a good way either, since it may happen somobody else will incidently create the same _locale_, which will later interfere with mine. Solving this with objects together with automatically-created numbered _locale_ seems a bit too heavy weapon. Is there a good way?
