The way I was thinking, "outer" wouldn't be a statement
at all, but a modifier applied to an indentifier in a
binding position. So, e.g.
x, outer y, z = 1, 2, 3
would be legal, meaning that x and z are local and
y isn't, and
outer x = 1; y = 2
would mean y is local and x isn't. To make both
x and y non-local you would have to write
outer x = 1; outer y = 2
