Re: Minor documentation inconsistency

It seems like "global attnamelist" is also wrong in another way: When you 
don't supply the ['=' explist], it doesn't accept a spread attribute (first 
attribute shared between all declared values).
Invalid:
    global <const> varA, varB
Valid:
    global <const> varA, varB = 1,2
Valid:
    global varA<const> varB<const>

Also, it seems like it ignores the const-ness of global variables.
Valid:
    > global test<const> = 45
    > test = 23

What's up with that?
