Maybe, but it would break currently existing (and working) code like the
following...
#no foo = declaration
def init_foo():
global foo
foo = ...
I use variants of the above in a few places. Could I initialize foo =
None in the module namespace prior to running init_foo()? Sure, but
that may or may not clutter up definitions contained in the module.
