Summary: Alternative to __future__ imports

Initial Comment:
This patch adds an alternative notation for selecting
nested scopes on the module level, by means of a 

directive nested_scopes

declaration. This is a declaration, and it may only
appear at the "beginning" of a module. Even though it
adds a keyword "directive", this is only a keyword if
it appears as the first keyword in the file; as a
result, 

def directive():
  directive = 1

is still accepted (even without warning, but that could
be changed if desired).

The patch currently only accepts the directives that
are also __future__ imports, although it can be
extended to allow other things, e.g.

directive source_encoding "latin-1"

This is possible since the syntax allows an optional
atom after the directive's name.
