No warnings at all :)
That's why I said it would take some work to get a lot of the current 
include files to work with this; of course, the behavior could be 
switched off via a command-line option (or an ini file option).

Basically, you would only use #declare for items that truly need to be 
global in scope, rather than using it out of habit.  Of course, I also 
like the idea I put forward of container objects, but this seemed like 
an easier solution to implement.
