Looking for simplicity. One of the goals of Cor is to have few keywords, to make it easy to learn, to get involved, and to work with. I had three possible solutions to solve the variable scoping problem.

1- `var` keyword. Like javascript. It assumes all variables are global if not declared with `var`. 2- `global` keyword. Like PHP. It assumes all variables are local unlike that is annotated with `global`. 3- Ruby-like, Coffeescript-like.

A mixing of options number 1 and 3 was chosen.

I will open an issue regarding this subject, considering your proposal for future versions.
