Well, personally I think it would be a good thing if this raised an
exception during bytecode compilation - but it would fall under the
moratorium and have to wait a few years.

It could probably be considered a bug, though, since the global
statement in that case silently has absolutely no effect.

It wouldn't be adding a new feature, but it would be changing the
behaviour of programs that currently have 'global' outside a function.

Perhaps, due to the moratorium, there should be a warning before it's
actually corrected.
