Globals are variables that have toplevel module scope. Basically, any
assignments, function definitions, or class definitions with no
indentation from the left margin will create a global variable. If you
can get at the variable by appending something of the form
"\nSomeIdentifierHere\n" to the module's file, and it's not a built-in
function, then it's a global.

Cheers,
Chris
