There's a very subtle difference in the way symbol tables are
maintained. our() doesn't actually put the variable in the symbol table
directly. The basic difference between your() and our() would be:

   our()  = package wide, lexical, NOT in symbol table

   your() = package wide, dynamic, IS in symbol table   

Now, whether or not this is a worthwhile distinction is up for
discussion.
