Add annotations to global statement
I think the annotations of parameters and return value of a function, a useful practice for the user of the function. As a function can modify or create global variables, and as it's important for the end user, I would appreciate to add annotations in the global statement. An annotation syntax similar to that of parameters could be employed : global var : expression global var1 : expression1, var2 : expression2,... cheers, Alex (geoscience modeler)

I believe the suggestion is that the expression becomes metadata associated with the name var. Are you familiar with function annotations, with which the parallel was drawn? http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107/ Mike
