I fully agree. As I stated in a message to alexander, it is quick and easy even to write a simple project-specific tool for checking that only allowed variable names exist in all the project files.
Compared to having to work with tons of effectively useless variable declarations forever (perhaps even only in other peoples code who decided to use the "option"), it is not much to ask (I work in pascal a lot - I know all about tons and tons of declarations).
thx Caleb
You can also get all places where said variable exists by using grep, or your editor's search feature. I don't see how a var declaration gains you anything over 'grep PowerOfGenerator *.py' ...
