I would prefer something that would be understandable for a newbie's eyes, even if it fits more with common usage than with the real semantics behind it. For example a Boost-like keyword like:
scoped EXPR as VAR: BLOCK
Definitely not. In too many languages, a "scope" is a new namespace, and that's exactly what a block (by whichever name) is *not*.
scopeless, unscoped, Scope(tm) (we would be required to use the unicode trademark symbol, of course)... It's way too long, and is too close to a pre-existing keyword, but I think 'finalized' is descriptive. But... finalize EXPR as VAR: BLOCK That reads nice... Maybe even 'cleanup', or 'finalize_after_iteration_without_iter_call' (abbreviated to 'faiwic', of course). <1.0 wink> All right, it's late enough. Enough 'ideas' from me tonight. - Josiah
