I know others don't see the need for it but I like how it protects me from myself by catching misspelled variable names and forcing me to put quotes around literals. Every now and again I download a utility stack that someone has provided which was created with scm off. If I want to customize its scripts, I have to switch scm off or define all the variables/quote all the literals. The latter is a big pain (although I have a script that does it for me), and the former risks forgetting to switch scm on again. As far as I know, there's no other way round this (?) Seems like it would be useful to have a stack property that switched scm on or off for all the scripts in the stack with the default being the prefs setting.
