    This issue arguably ought to be a compiler issue, rather than cleanup, since
    the compiler people seem to be the ones currently mucking about with what we
    mean by top-level.  (Besides, Larry is overworked as it is :-)
I may have sent it to the wrong committee by mistake.  If either Sandra or
Larry instructs me to send it to the other committee, I'll do so forthwith.
    More seriously, I support this idea, in part because of the frob example.  This
    kind of thing was one of the reasons I voted against the DECLARATION-SCOPE
    proposals.
    By the way, my notes from the Hawaii meeting say that we passed the NO-HOISTING
    proposal, and that LIMITED-HOISTING was not even called to a vote.
You're right, I copied down the wrong proposal name.  What I said about
it is true of the NO-HOISTING proposal but false of the LIMITED-HOISTING
proposal.  This needs to be fixed before it's distributed more widely.
