Summary: oo::object->variable working wrong

Initial Comment:
The following script fails:
  oo::object create obj
  oo::objdefine obj export variable
  proc foo o {o variable x; set x OK}
  proc bar o {o variable x; return $x}
  foo obj; bar obj
Reading the documentation in the object(n) manual page would not lead you to this conclusion. The problem appears to be a guard inside the implementation that makes the method only work inside the body of a method instead of any normal stack context (like [global]). Arguably, it might even be beneficial to allow it to work in namespaces...
