i.e., the 'outer' statement should be 'outer' expr_stmt
The way I was thinking, "outer" wouldn't be a statement at all, but a modifier applied to an indentifier in a binding position. So, e.g. x, outer y, z = 1, 2, 3 would be legal, meaning that x and z are local and y isn't, and outer x = 1; y = 2 would mean y is local and x isn't. To make both x and y non-local you would have to write outer x = 1; outer y = 2 Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | A citizen of NewZealandCorp, a | Christchurch, New Zealand | wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Inc. | greg@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz +--------------------------------------+
