How many of these languages don't require any sort of variable declaration for all but a tiny minority of variables? > The aim of the block scoping proposal is to make Python *not worse* > than these other languages, instead of adding funny workarounds again.

Let's not make the proposed Python *worse* than the current version of Python, by making variable declarations common.
