I don't believe that having var and implicit keywords would make the language less flexible -- they are completely optional, remember. If you omit "implicit none" from the beginning of your program you can write your program like you do now, implicit variable declarations and all.
At which scope should this statement operate? Should it only be allowed at the top of a module (like __future__ imports), or should it operate on a per-function basis? Doing this for the whole process, as i think your usage of the term "program" implies, sounds like a very bad idea to me.
As it's something that doesn't change bytecode execution (other than the extra info on NameError, which as mentioned can be done regardless of this proposal) but effects a change to syntax, I would recommend it be per-module, like a future directive. ChrisA
