Well, it doesn't fit in with either of the the other commands. #declare
is an action, you declare a variable. #local is a descriptive word like
#persistent. You can't persist a variable...it is the variable that
persists. But you can declare a persistant variable. The word "persist"
just doesn't seem to fit into the language.

I agree. You can also say #local implies a 'declare' -> 'to declare sth
local(ly)'. #persistant would be logical in the same way.

But I bet there are scourges of people who don't know how to spell
'persistent' correctly :)

Is this the same kind of phenomenon as with "primative"?-)

:-)
But don't blame me, Chris Huff made the same mistake.
I should really get a newsreader with builtin POV-SDL syntax
highlighting - of course it would not have helped in this case.

Objects can be variables. The language should be able to take care of
anything else by using persistent variables. I think the goal of these
modules is more serialization and permanent storage of data, which would
require a pretty large amount of work to implement. It could be useful,
though...

Yeah but you're the one who proposes this horrendous syntax. Man, I
had to turn on the spell checker to make sure I wasn't making a fool
of myself... I guess it's as well that you didn't propose some
46-character German word for it :-)
