Shadowed variables are not an issue, technically, just from the
code-clarity sense, which syntax-highlighting has now largely resolved.  I
think such fixes like these should be handled by the existing batch process
in the development cycle where one cleans the Lint out of one's code.  If
you must add yet another pop up for this, make sure loading a large package
with a lot of shadowed variables doesn't produce hundreds of such pop ups.
Which, of course, I guess you'd be back to a bunch of code with shadowed
variables with no way to identify them except the Transcript notifications
again.  So, maybe that's another reason to relegate this to the deLint'ing
stage.

Best,
  Chris
