What then do you propose?  my() and our() were chosen for their brevity.

I might suggest that one look to Python's use of locals() and
globals().  Currently, globals() is something like keys %{ __PACKAGE__
. "::"}, more or less, but locals() is unfindable from the Perl
level.  Perhaps this should be addressed.  So too perhaps should
the inconvenience/kludginess of the globals() solution above.  Then
again, I suppose that non-code-devel-tools folks seldom have cause
to muck about in these waters.
