Even though explicit vars (or strict compile mode in the prefs) is considdered 
to be a major headache by some, I have never looked back since I started to 
make this a prerequisite in all the code my company writes for others. When we 
have people writing code for us, we also require it to compile in strict mode, 
otherwise the code is not accepted. It adds little extra work, but helps 
tremendously when debugging or refactoring. I can only encourage people to use 
strict compile mode. You will quickly find all typos and it actually makes for 
cleaner code. I would even want the engine to be (optionally) a little stricter 
and introduce typed variables (and global constants *sigh), well I might be one 
of only a few there, but wishful thinking never hurts. :-)

Cheers,

Malte
