Don't think there's a win. You'll need something identically like it,
which means you'll have to put lexicals in the symbol table, which means
they're just dynamics again...

Dynamic variables aren't evil, they're just misused because they're the
default. If you make people have to use them explicitly, I think you'll
see some really great, thoughtful uses of them in Perl 6.

Good, I like. 'use vars' should work fine.

Naw, take a stand. #2 is already loose enough. :-)
