Alternatively, 'global' could be redefined to mean what we're thinking of for 'outer'. Then there would be no change in keywordage. There would be potential for breaking code, but I suspect the actual amount of breakage would be small, since there would have to be 3 scopes involved, with something in the middle one shadowing a global that was referenced in the inner one with a global statement. Given the rarity of global statement usage to begin with, I'd say that narrows things down to something well within the range of acceptable breakage in 3.0.
