Yet obviously people DO do stuff like:
_('{foo}')
which walks the stack to find the locals and then puts them in there. I think this shows there is some room for a middle ground that might disincentivize people from going to those extremes :P
Again, it's not about the exact syntax I suggested, it's about that middle ground.
One difference here is that the above magic is tucked inside a library. If you don't like magic (or you feel it's incomprehensible), don't use the library. A syntactic equivalent impacts the entire language. -Barry
