[Python-3000] Sky pie: a "var" keyword

[snip of arguments against previously proposed keywords]

The fact that this issue gets raised over and over again tells me that
I'm not alone in thinking this is a big language wart.  Please,
please, please add a "nonlocal" keyword under some appropriate
spelling.  Even if we can't all agree on the best name, I'd rather
have the small wart of an oddly spelled keyword than the IMHO big mess
we have today.

Then again, I'm the kind of guy that likes the new conditional
expression syntax, so what do I know? :-)
