They are currently called free variables (or cell variables). This
isn't helpful for the beginner, and was confusing for me. On the
other hand, maybe beginners shouldn't be using them anyhow.
I'll suggest "reuse"
reuse myoutvar
A simple "use" is too generic, but "reuse" implies that it already
exists elsewhere, which (other than "not global") is the main point.
