Yeccch, This is asking for un-debuggable code in which a simple typo
takes hours to discover. I've used both Python and SuperCollider_1,
which allow "auto-declaration" and I have to say that I'm just not a
careful enough typist for them (as you all surely already know from my
email to this list in the past). Please keep declarations around.
